“Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have
tested you in the furnace of affliction.” Isaiah 48:10
The great evangelist and teacher Charles Spurgeon had
a plaque on his bedroom with the words written on it, "I have chosen
thee in the furnace of affliction."
Spurgeon, writing about the trials and afflictions
that the saints endure, said, "It is no mean thing to be chosen of
God."
In the midst of trials and tribulations comes the
burning question: "Why do the righteous suffer?"
Some answer with theology, others with platitudes;
C.S. Lewis offers a rhetorical, "Why not? They're the only ones who can
take it!"
One friend suggests, "Suffering was the
personal choice of God at the beginning of creation. [Revelation 13:8]
If I want to know Him personally and intimately how can I not embrace
it?"
Embrace
your trial and the suffering involved, but only if you want a deeper
relationship with your personal savior.
