God Does Not Take Pleasure in Suffering

Job was a Man blessed by God with good health,  and Prosperity;   yet Suddenly  he suffers  great Misfortune.  All  his Children,   and fortune was gone,  even his wife misunderstood,  his three  friends insist that his sufferings was Punishment for sin,  and he should  repent,  but Job have faith in God  wisdom.   Even though  he did not understand what was going on, he thrust   God,  for the out come.  He was battered,  and bruised by the  DEVIL,       but God kept him a live.  His merciful kindness is from generation to generation,  to those who love Him and obey His Son.  The Bible says,  Job was perfect and upright,  and one who fear God. 

2Corinthians 2: 14,  say now thanks be to God,  which always cause us to triumph in Christ.  God is the  God,   of all comfort,  who comfort the Believers in all tribulation,   that we may comfort others.  Our hope are steadfast,  and true. 2 Corinthians 5: 4, For we that are in this [body do groan with pain]  but we look to God for strength.  as we read and pray, each day we  grow more,  and  more, to be the person God want us to be.  We are Confident,  knowing that while we are in the body,  we are  absent from the  Lord,  But one day Christ will come,  and delivered us from this body.   to our glorious body. and we will be with Him for ever,  and ever.

why God permits Sufferings,God permits, suffering, for many different reason. The word of God says, in Hebrew 12: 6- 11, whom the Lord Loves He chasten, and scourge, every son. whom He Receives, if we Endure chastening,we are sons and daughters, of God and He deals with us as His children. But if we are without chastening, then we are not His children. Chastening is heavenly discipline it may not be pleasant, but as a loving Father, God correct His children. Earthly parents correct there children, because they want to bring out the best in them.

When God permits sufferings,   it is not punishment,  we do not need to be discouraged,  we should feel blessed,   because,  God is dealing with us as sons,   and daughters.   when we passed  through the  Fire,     He is there,  or through the deep waters,   He is there.  so we can be Confident that God is working out His will in our life.  Psalm 55: 22, states, Cast your burden upon the Lord.  and He shall sustain you.  God loves  and  care for us and He    promised never to leave,  or forsake us.  We can  know the power of  Christ,  and the Grace of God, through Testing,   And we have nothing to be a shamed of,  we are blessed.  Believers hold up  your heads and praised your God.  Even if others do  not approved of you God does.

We can have  faith in our God to see us through.  Paul said in Romans 8: 18,  For I Reckon that the Sufferings of this present  time are not worthy to be Compared with the glory   which  shall be  revealed in us.  So lets thrust God.   He knows what is best for us,   and He will not give us more than we can bear.   His grace is sufficient for us.  We can be victorious over the things of this  life. that  get us down,      As we walk  with Him   day by day we realize what a Wonderful life we have in Christ.  being Confident of this very thing,  that He which hath begun a good work in us will perform it untill   the day of Christ.  Philippians 1:6, ]  In the midst of suffering,  If our mind is stayed on Christ,  our hope in Him grow stronger,   and we serve  Him with Joy in our hearts.   And we with Gods  help can draw near to Christ with a true heart to worship Him.  

The Ethiopian is Baptized

And the Angel of the Lord, spoke to Philip, saying, a rise and go,  to word the south,  and He a rose and went:   and behold,   a Man of Ethiopia,    of great authority  under Candace  Queen of the Ethiopians,   who had the charge  of all her Treasures,  and  had come to Jerusalem to worship,   and was returning.   He sat in His Chariot and was reading Esaias the Prophet.    Then the Spirit  said to Philip,  draw near,   and said    join your self to this chariot.   And Philip ran to Him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias,  and   ask,    do you under what you are reading?    And he said,  How can I?   Except a man should guide me.  

The place of the scripture which he was reading,   Spoke of the  Lord Jesus Christ.   He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;     and like Lamb  dumb before his Shearer,    so He did not open His mouth.  In His humiliation   His judgment was taken away:   and who shall declare His generation?   For His life was taken from the Earth.  And the eunuch answered Philip,  and said,   I pray Thee,   of whom the speaketh the  Prophet?   of him self,  or of some other man.   Then Philip Began at the same Scripture,  and Preached unto Him JESUS.   And as they went on there way,   they came unto a certain WATER:   and the Eunuch said, HERE  IS WATER;   What hinder me from been BAPTIZED?   Philip said,   IF YOU BELIEVE WITH ALL YUOR  HEART,      THOU MAYEST.   And he answered  and said,   I BELIEVE  THAT JESUS CHRIST  IS THE  SON  OF  GOD.  And Philip Commanded the Chariot to stop. 

And they  BOTH     Went  down  into the  water,   Both   Philip and the Eunuch;   and  He   BAPTIZE   HIM,   and when they came up out of the water,  the Spirit  of the Lord Caught away Philip,   and   the Eunuch went on His way Rejoiciny.   Acts 8:  26-39,    ARE   YOU   SAVED?   What is keeping you from  been  obedient   to the word of  God?    you can only be saved once,   you may  not  act  like you are saved, but if you were  serious when you ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your heart and save you,  you are His child.  His life is in you.   You can now repent of your disobedience to God,   for neglecting  His Son,  start reading His  word,  and start growing.   God is a loving Father,  He will for give you.  and save you,  if you need to be saved.

We are bound for that city

In  that     city  there will be no night,   God is Light and the Father of Light,  and in Him is no darkness at all.  Every good gift,  and every perfect gift is from the Father  above. and cometh down from the Father of Light,  with whom is no Variableness,  neither shadow of Turning.   That city had no need of sun,  neither of the moon,  to shine  in it,  for the Glory of  God   did Lighten it,  and the Lamb is  the Light thereof.  Jesus was that true Light.  that Lighteth  Everyone,  that   cometh into  the world.

Jesus said I Am the Light of the world,  he that Followeth me shall not walk in darkness,   but shall have the Light of Life.  In Him[ Christ]   was  Life and the Life was the light of men.   Jesus said, as long as I am in the world,  I am the Light of the world. the  word   of     God,      said  we   His beleving   Children, are the light of the world. a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.  let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven.  Ephesians 5: 8-14  For ye were sometimes darkness,   but now are ye light in the Lord:  The word of    God is a Lamp unto our feet,  and a light unto our path.   Lets walk in the light as He is in the light.  1John 1: 5,  Revelation 21: 23   22:5,   John 8: 12,   1: 4-5.

Redemption Through Christ Blood

As we seek to follow Christ,  there are no limit to what we can do through Christ.   As we go forth with courage,  wisdom,  and    understanding,   God will  give us the strength, we need to do His   work.  We can Anchor  our life on Jesus,   His loving support is there for our taking.  Colossians 1:23, if we continue  in faith  Grounded  and settle and be not moved away from the Hope  of the Gospel,  which ye have heard,  and which was preach to every    Creature  which is under Heaven;   to whom  God  would made known  what  is  the Riches of   the   Glory of this mystery  among the Gentiles;  which is Christ  in you the  hope  of Glory.  

Christ our source of  Security and the Foundation  of our spiritual life.  Christ our hope of Glory.   We have the Greatest privilege  of Serving the one true God,  who created all things.  Because we are on the battle field for our Lord.   we struggle at times,   with what ever comes our way and stand in  our path.  Giving thanks to God,  who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,   and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.  In whom we have redemption through His Blood,  even the forgiveness of sins:  who is the Image of the Invisible  God ,   the first born of every Creature,   For by Him were all thing created,  that are in Heaven, and that are in the Earth,   Visible and Invisible,  weather they are thrones,   or dominions, or principalities,    or powers:   all things were created by Him,  and for Him.Colossians1:  13-16.
