Circumstances
“Who teacheth like Him”(Job 36:22).
God sometimes puts us in strange and often difficult circumstances to teach us important lessons in His school.
• Joseph was put in prison to teach him to wait God’s time.
• Jacob wrestled with the angel at Peniel, where he learned that the blessing in life comes from wholly leaning on God, not by our own planning and scheming.
• Moses was in the back side of the desert to prepare him to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt.
• Jonah was in the belly of the great fish to bring him to the end of himself and teach him obedience.
• Paul and Silas were in prison to teach them to pray and rejoice, even in difficult circumstances.
• The Apostle John was exiled to the isle of Patmos in order to be used to write the book of Revelation.
Perhaps you are going through something you don’t understand at the moment. You are wondering why God is allowing this or that in your life. Don’t be discouraged, He has a purpose, and is teaching you and training you to be a useful vessel for His glory.
