Why Adversity?

Have you ever asked yourself, why does God allow adversity? I have more than a few times The Bible says: Many are the afflictions but..the Lord
I really hope this will be a sense of encouragement for you as I have experienced this hope.
For what's it worth, I might say that I have experienced some adversity and believe me, it isn't that fun when you're in the middle of it..
For leaders I think sometimes the people are looking to us to be somehow either exempt or unmoved. But allow me to be real> It's painful and I'm human (Amen)

Here is what I consider the 7 Reasons
Why God Allows Adversity To Come
read: 2 Cor 12: 1-7 and Isa. 48: 10 both speak of a type of adversity
Paul writes about his personal experience,the other speaks of God taking the children of Israel through..

Adversity def.> persistant cause of suffering / trouble
Heres the reasons: Which I recommend you share with others as well
1.To Get our attention

2. Expressing His Love towards Us

3. Examine Ourselves
Proverbs says:If you falter in times of trouble how small is your strength


in the book of Cor, Paul had "revelations"
4. To Conquer Our Pride

"In my weakness"
5. Reminding Us Of our Weaknesses

6. See the Truth become Real
And the Last reason: 2 Cor. 1: 4

7. God's way of preparing us to Comfort Others

Cling to theses passages as a reminder that God's on your side
Jn. 16: 33 & Acts 14:22
Until Next Time remember: Leaders are Readers.
