when the storm gets scary
I. SUFFERING KEEPS THIS WORLD FROM BECOMING TOO ATTRACTIVE
II. SUFFERING CAN BRING OUT OUR BEST
Lee Stroble – The Case for Faith: "God took the very worst thing that has ever happened in the history of the universe — deicide, or the death of God on the cross — and turned it into the very best thing that has happened in history of universe:
...the opening up of heaven to all who follow Him. So if God can take the very worst circumstance imaginable and turn it into the very best situation possible, can He not take the negative circumstances of your life and create something good from them?”
III. SUFFERING MAKES US APPRECIATIVE
“God will not send trials without the intention of blessings; therefore, where the trial is great, we may be sure that the blessing intended is great also.”
