In life we pass through many challenges, sometimes we end up asking God why all this? More so many people have tried their level best to see that they make you lose hope in God.
Remember not everyone who is besides you has positive advice for you; majority will just hurt you either by making you feel life has no meaning.
JOB 2:7-9. Satan went forth from the presence of God and afflicted Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his feet to the crown of his head. And he took a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and sat among the ashes.
Then his wife said to him," Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die. Yeah most of the time those are type of people we have in our lives, but what I want to let you know is that we are God's vessels whom his works are to be manifested in.
JEREMIAH 18:1-6.
The word of God came to Jeremiah, "Arise and go down to the Potter's House and there I will let you hear my word. So he went down to the Potter's House and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the porter's hand, and he reworked it into another vessel as it seemed good to him.
Then the word of God came to him: O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter has done? “Says the Lord” Behold like clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand.
Brethren, we are God's vessels, as he is the owner so he uses us as he wilt.
ROMANS 14:7-
None of us lives on himself, and none of us dies on himself. If we live we live to the Lord, and if when we die we die to the Lord; so then whether we live or whether we die we are the Lord's.
Brethren, God knew us before we came into our mothers’ wombs and he is the one holding our destiny so he knows why all those challenges come our ways.
JOHN 9:1-
As he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him," Rabbi, who sinned this man or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered," Neither this man nor his parents sinned but he is like that, the works of the Lord might be made manifested in him. Now stop cursing life, blaming your parents why they brought to this world to suffer, and stop leaning on people during the time of trial instead put your faith in God who knows you and who has a solution to the situation you are going through.
Sometimes situation seem to be stagnant in our lives, know that during that time is when God is preparing a platform for us where all people will say God is so wonderful.
Like what he did to the children of Israel:-
EXDOUS 14:1-
Then the Lord said to Moses," Tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamp in front of Pihahiroth between Midol and the sea, in front of Baal syphon; you shall encamp over against it, by the sea. For Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, "They are interested in the land; the wilderness has shut them in. And I will pursue them and I will get glory over Pharaoh and his entire host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord.
And also we have to know this:-
ECCLESIASTES 3:1
For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.
When we read about Joseph the son of Rachel and Jacob, we understand that there is a reason why God delayed Rachel to have a baby, why? Joseph was brought, the right time of saving the people of Israel from dying of famine
