Trouble Is Good For You

Trouble Is Good For You

Psalm 119:71 says, “It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.”  There are some things that you will never “learn” apart from troubles or problems in life. Here are a few…

  • Problems make us think.
  • Criticism makes us check up on ourselves.
  • Pain makes us humble.
  • Trials teach us patience (Rom. 5:3).
  • Disappointments remind us to look to God for our expectations.
  • Sorrow makes us more sympathetic to the hurts of others.
  • Adversity teaches us to depend on God and “have no confidence in the flesh.
  • Losses remind us that this world is not our home.

So, next time “old man trouble” comes knocking at your door, don’t try to shut him out. Believe it or not, he’s there to help you!
