Why does God allow bad things, devastating things to happen to His people? 1. Test the validity of their faith. Saving faith is indestructible. Saving faith endures to the end. Saving faith perseveres. 2. Wean them from the world. The Lord brings us to trials in order that we might be weaned away from confidence in worldly things. 3. Call them to heavenly hope. [Trials help] to fill our hearts with anticipation for the glories to come so that we will live in hope. 4. Show us what we really love. Trials will reveal what is most precious to [us]. If bearing the cross and the reproach of Christ is most precious, then [we'll] suffer the loss of anything for that. 5. Teach us obedience. Trials also allow God to teach us obedience. Through those trials we learn that sin has painful consequences. Trials are God's chastenings. 6. In order that He might reveal His compassion in our misery. He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. 7. Develop [our]spiritual strength for greater usefulness. The more [we]are tested and refined by trials and trouble, the more useful [we] become. 8. Help others in their trials. God can come to [us] in [our] difficulty and strengthen [us] and then [we] can come to [others] with the strength He's given to [us]. 9. Display His astounding power.
