Our Daily Manna Devotional 2 December 2017

Welcome to our devotional encounter with heaven again. Many
people are unable to accept why God can sometimes ‘permit’ suffering even
though He did not permit it. In the process, many fall into grave doubt and
confusion.

A Jewish scholar, David Wolf Silverman, once wrote: “If God
is to be intelligible in some manner, then His goodness must be compatible with
the existence of evil and this is only if He is not all powerful.” And he was
wrong! Others, unable to explain why even believers sometimes suffer, have gone
to the extent of denying the existence of suffering or satan. Hear this: “If sin,
sickness and death were understood as nothingness, they would disappear.” Can
you imagine Mary Baker declared further: “Evil and suffering are illusions
(false beliefs) and have no real basis.” Amazing! Yet to others, God has lost
control of the affairs of man and the world.

Some have claimed that since God is all-powerful, He must be
ultimately responsible for all the suffering going around the world. None of
the above is correct! 1 Peter 4:12 declared without apologies: “Beloved, think
it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though some
strange thing happen to you.” Note the words, “not strange” and “fiery”. That
means suffering and battles are not strange and sometimes, they could be fiery
(very harsh): the purest of saints, Abraham, Moses, and Daniel passed through
trials! Elisha, Elijah and other prophets were tried.

All religions on earth today, no matter how blind they are,
agree that trials are the process of purification. In this last month of 2017, stop
asking questions that have no immediate answers and resist discouragement! Wait
on the Lord in any trial or delay! It may be harsh now but will be hallow
tomorrow! You are coming out better because; clouds of testing can be showers
of blessings!Our Daily Manna 2017 edition
