Five Reasons why Allah uses problems
The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you – depending on how you respond to them.
Unfortunately, most people fail to see how Allah wants to use problems for good in their lives.
They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they
might bring.
Here are five ways Allah wants to use the problems in your life:
1. Allah uses problems to DIRECT you.
Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new
direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? “Sometimes it takes a
painful situation to make us change our ways.”
2. Allah uses problems to INSPECT you.
People are like tea bags…if you want to know what’s inside them, just drop them into hot ever
water! Has God tested your faith with a problem What do problems reveal about
you? “When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these
troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience.”
3. Allah uses problems to CORRECT you.
Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It’s likely that as a child your parents told
you not to touch a hot stove…. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn
the value of something… health, money, a relationship.. .. by losing it. “It was the best thing
that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws.”
4. Allah uses problems to PROTECT you.
A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more
serious.. Last year a friend was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss had
asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem – but it saved him from being convicted and sent to
prison a year later when management’s actions were eventually discovered. “You intended to harm me,
but God intended it for good…”
5. Allah uses problems to PERFECT you.
Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. God is far more interested in your
character than your comfort. Your relationship to God and your character are the only two things
you’re going to take with you into eternity. “We can rejoice when we run into problems…they help us
learn to be patient.. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more
each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady.”
Here’s the point:
God is at work in your life – even when you do not recognize it or understand it.
But it’s much easier and profitable when you cooperate with Him.
“Success can be measured not only in achievements, but in lessons learned, lives touched and
moments shared along the way”
Allah Knows Best…
