Why is it very easy to praise God when all things are going well with you? My second question is:"Why is it very difficult to praise God if all things are started falling?
Answer:
It is very easy to praise God in life if life is full of prosperity such as having nice & luxurious cars, Thousands & thousand or even a Million Dollars bank account; or having nice well & healthy Family and many influential friends.
But what about if all those things will be gone in a single minute then I doubt if the enthusiam of praising God will still be there with you still. These all has happened to job in the old testament because in a single minute Job is one of the richest man onearth perhapslike billgates but in a single minute Job lost all his wealth & everything and most the painful part was, He lost his precious children and had shameful deadly skin diseases and her wife told her to curse God & die but Job contested saying:" The gave and the Lord take it away so Let his Name be Praise!!! This is very absurd yet very touching & admirable faith of Job because on the back of the trial, the devil & God had a discussion that God said to the devil here is my servant job who is very faithful fromthe beginning, but satan said to God if you take all his belongings, He will no longer be faithful so the Lord was challenge and allowed the devil to have his way provided Job's life will not be touched.
Sometimes, we are also encountering these problems as God is also testing our faith whether we are really indeed faithful just as the "Gold is tested using fire to prove if that is real".
Going back to Job, at the end of his trial because job was faithful, God replaced all his dead children by giving her more children and God even made One of Job's daughter the most beautiful women in the land in his time (if compare to our time, His daughter is like the Miss Universe so to speak)..
Job waited for so long forGod to answer allhispleading and the most frusting eventin the bible was God was silent in 37 chapters just imagine its 37 chapters and sometimesin ourlife we already give up ifGod willnotanswere usin the second eventofpleading & prayers or chapter.
Tomake the story short, at the end, God gave Job all what he lost ten times of it so imagine if you were job who lost One million dollars & some other important issues like divorce, death in the family; being robbed; and many more pains in life, don't be discouraged because God wanted to blessed you ten times than what was lost.
And due to Gods's testings then afterwards God will bring it forth to you not 1 Million but already 10 million if for example One million was lost. God is using Job's life in the bible not because of him(job) but it was intended by God to happened in order for us to read and understand that the message is not for job but for you and me.
Real worship comes deeply if you are in deepest pain according to Rick Warren. I remember when I lost my dad in 2000 as awell as all the businesses, I felt it was the end of the world and I wantedto end it because I just cannot acceted it but now I am realizing that God is brining it backt ome little by little and one example is I never expected to get married to a very pretty & sensible women with good family & personal backgound compared to mine as my background or childhood memory is life the title:"Nightmare on ELM's Street."..
If you are hurt & discouraged, just remember that God is using it to transformed & Mature you in some areas of your life soyou won't end up getting destroyed and most of all after transforming you, but the beauty in having this painfulexperienced is He will give it back 10 times what was taken out from you but take note some verse in the bible says: God will returned it a hundredfold so its up to God and all you must do is simple "cast all your cares to GOD cause He cares for you"..
Remember always that His answers is wiser than your prayers because many times int the bible God said: I will never Leave you nor Forsake you! In Mathew,Jesus said:"Look at the birds in the sky, they flew freely without wories & struggle, yet my fatherin heaven feeds them; then Jesus said: Why Worry what you should eat or drink or cloths to wear?"Are you not worth far more than birds? wow! it was so excitingt to hear that we are more than birds in the eyes of God and in Jeremiah 29:11 God again said:For I have plans for you, Plans to prosper you, not to harm you but to give you hope and a future...
When I became the Marketing Managerof One of manila's Top Group of realty in 2009, I told myself and to God and to mywife saying:"Is this real ora joke or a dream but it was real gosh! We cannot or never underestimate what God can do for our lives. if your suffering now, I believe God wants your attention cause He loves you more thanyou knowand wanted to bless you more than what you have at present...so just think that God is God and every impossible things in this world is possible for Him.. I mean everything!! Name it? everything yout think that are unsolvable is chicken is God's hand.... My advised to you is "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and never rely on what you think you know........keywords: TRust God! Love you all.....Gud Nyt http://rickpila.blogspot.com
