5 Reasons Why Allah Uses Problems
T he problems you face will either defeat you or develop
You - depending on how you respond to them.
Unfortunately, most people fail to see how Allah wants to
Use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their
Problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.
Here are five ways Allah wants to use the problems in your life:
1.Allah Uses Problems To DIRECT U
S ometimes Allah must light a fire under you to get you moving.
Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change.
Is Allah trying to get your attention? "Sometimes it takes
A painful situation to make us change our ways."
2. Allah Uses Problems To INSPECT U
P eople are like tea bags...if you want to know what's inside them,
Just drop them into hot ever water! Has Allah tested
Your faith with a problem What do problems reveal about you?
"When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full
Of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith,
And this will give you patience."
3. Allah Uses Problems To CORRECT U
S ome lessons we learn only through pain and failure.
It's likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove.
But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn
The value of something... Health, money, a relationship. ..
By losing it. "It was the best thing that could have happened to me,
For it taught me to pay attention to your laws."
4. Allah Uses Problems To PROTECT U
A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from
Being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend
Was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss
Had asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem - but
It saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year
Later when management's actions were eventually discovered.
"You intended to harm me, but Allah intended it for good...
5. Allah Uses Problems To PERFECT U
P roblems, when responded to correctly, are character builders.
Allah is far more interested in your character than your comfort.
Your relationship to Allah and your character are the only two
Things you're going to take with you into eternity.
"We can rejoice when we run into problems...
They help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of
Character in us and helps us trust Allah more each time
We use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady."
Here's the point Ad:
Allah is at work in your life - even when you do not recognize it or understand it.
But it's much easier and profitable when you cooperate with Him.
"Success can be measured not only in achievements, but in lessons learned,
Lives touched and moments shared along the way"
