God´s plan: Your choise 4

(Genesis 22:1-19) Do I divert from the plan of God? The circumstances provoke questions. Are we really in God´s will? Sometimes the difficulties can confirm God´s will. God uses the circumstances for testing our faith. He do that because it is our faith that keeps us in the contact with Him (Hebrews 11:6). God works according to the measure of our faith. Trials reveal the faith (Luke 22:31, Matthew 26:34-75). If we don´t accept that God can put our faith in the try, possible weaknesses can be turn to be bad in an insidious attack of Satan. Trials cause a perfection (James 1:2-4). Trials build the faith (1. Samuel 17:34-37). Trials make us understand what are our weaknesses and to harden our confidence in God and His help. Circumstances can discipline. The purpose of such discipline is to reach the objective that God has prepared for us (Mark 4:35-41, 9:14-29, 6:34-44). God uses problems for turning our attention on Him. Circumstances can stimulate. Satan and the world are the enemies of each believer (John 15:18-20). Trials prove that we belong to God (John 16:33). Believers have to find a courage in difficutlies (Luke 6:20-26). Difficulties can be transformed in a triumph. In Christ we have a victory (James 4:4, Revelation 3:21). Difficulties can increase our confidance that God likes us. Another enemy of God is our human nature - „the flash“ (Galatians 5:19-21). The fight in us with our human nature proves that we refuse the world and we look for being liked by God.
