Thank God For Trouble

“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you”. The apostle Paul was thanking God for the saints at Philippi. There should be someone in our lives that we can thank God for. Thanking Him for trouble is another side of the coin most of us want no part of. We are blessed by the people in our lives who encourage, build up, and that really help take care of that which concerns us, thank God for them. Thanking the Lord for the trouble that comes to us from a natural standpoint seems crazy. As we mature in the ways of God, His teachings and precepts, we learn to appreciate the fact that our faith must be exercised, as the word of the Lord in us must be tested from time to time. Giving God praise and thanksgiving during a crisis opens the door for the Lord to move more swiftly on your behalf to bring you through the trouble. Sense is sense, and faith is faith. We need our five senses for this natural world, but we need faith to activate and receive from God in the spiritual world, where He and Satan are. The spiritual realm affects the natural where we live. Thanking the Lord through your problems in faith, trusting and believing Him for deliverance based on His word is all that matters for successful victory.
