In Proverbs, chapter eleven, verse eight, as a general principle, righteous living results in fewer problems than wicked living, as in verses three through nine from this theme chapter. However, this does not mean that those who follow God will never have any problems. But the righteous may be assured that when they are afflicted, they will ultimately receive deliverance in God’s own time.
Every servant of God is different, and each life experiences vary. No one’s way of living is the same. Especially the choices we make and the things we do all contribute to our journey through life. Therefore, comparing ourselves to another is not possible. However, no matter where your life has been, with God, all things are possible.
For with God, nothing shall be impossible, as in Luke one, verse thirty-seven. For believers in Christ, the godly choices we make tend to attract fewer problems. However, all who strive to live and serve Jesus Christ will encounter trouble, obstacles, and difficult circumstances at times because of who is living within us. No matter how carefully and wisely we attempt to avoid things from happening, all saints of God will be tested and undergo various trials that we must overcome.
“Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble,” as in Job fourteen, verse one. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, had to deal with trouble from the same people he had ministered to and performed various miracles before. However, there will be times when God allows things to come into our lives we may not know or understand. However, those who persevere and do not complain, even though it may not make sense, will eventually pass the test and gain victory. It is impossible to be a believer without believing God’s Word.
