The Acronym PAIN
Purpose - Obedience to the word of the Lord.
Adversity - Challenges that come because of the word that reveal the true state of our heart.
Integrity - When we act honestly as it concerns the revelation of our heart
Nonconformance - How we fit better into the plan God has for our life as a result and or misfit the world.
The Lord revealed to me in the small devotional that I had this morning that an important and essential element of faith is its activity.
Faith full grown is pointed and actively engaging God as it concerns the area for which it exists.
Its argued that a faith that is not actively believing God for his promises is not faith but rather hope in a human sense. And as a result this human faith called hope is not enough for us to live. The standard of life in christ. (Life in Christ). The just shall live by faith.
The regards of PAIN simply means that what God bring us to as a result is no more than a simple commitment to see that we actively engage our issues that bring us PAIN. The great revelation is that God use suffering, trials, testing, temptation and infirmities to do his work in us. Although he can comfort in those times of seemly senseless PAIN he would rather use it to teach us.
Besides if we are suffer it with no discrimination then better it the hand of almighty God who loves us and is seeking our good then to be otherwise outer unnecessary experience. Better brokenness be useful in the hand of God and perfect peace in the world system. Better suffering in the hand of God then tranquility and solace in the world system.
