Problems And Maturity

Any problem we are experiencing must bring good if we are able to see and look at it from the right perspective, if we are able to respond to it with the right attitude of heart as well. No matter how big the problems we are experiencing today there must be valuable lessons we learn. If we address problems as life learning and part of the process of maturing faith, then we believe that good things must happen in our lives. We don’t need to be afraid, disappointed, and angry with God when we’re in trouble. If God allows us to have problems, trust God will definitely provide the best solution for us.

Not many people are able to address the problem from the right perspective! Most give a negative response to the problem they are experiencing. There was the slightest problem that they immediately complained, ranted, whined, sputtered, offended, angry, did not want to be counseled, and did not want to be reprimanded. Doesn’t this show that we are still acting like children or immatures.

Being physically old is certain for everyone, but becoming spiritually mature is because we want to process, one of the processes is through problems. Through the problem at hand, God is actually leading us to draw closer to Him. From there we realize that indeed our strength and abilities are very limited, therefore we need God in this life. 

Through problems, we are taught to depend entirely on God and learn to hold fast to the promises of God’s words! Man’s promises are easily not kept and missed, but God’s promises are yes and amen! β€œHeaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.” Don’t get hung up on problems or situations, because our lives are out of trust.

β€œWhen I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.β€œ
