THIS TROUBLE IS A BIG PROBLEM, BUT IT JUST MIGHT OPEN THE DOOR TO OPPORTUNITY
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
A person full of faith finds opportunities in problems… A person of doubt will find problems in opportunities.
WOULD WE ORDER A TROUBLE FREE, PROBLEM FREE, PAIN FREE LIFE STYLE IF WE COULD?
WE COULD EXPECT: SMOOTH, WORRY FREE, PLENTY OF MONEY, LOVE AND PEACEFUL TIMES?
But since the fall of Adam and Eve the reality of daily life is not what we would order?
Why do light bulbs have to burn out?
I had a friend from Europe visit us. One of our light bulbs burned out? He was so amazed with the bulb, he held it in his hand. He explained to me that the same light bulb that was in their front room at their house, was the same bulb that was there before he was born. Well, not in the USA. I bought a case of light bulbs that was guaranteed for ten years. In the first month 4 quit working? I went back to Lowes. There was no replacement for
dark bulbs?
Why does the car and washing machine have to break down?
JOB CAME TO AN HONEST OBSERVATION ABOUT LIFE.
Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
Job 14:1 (MSG) "We're all adrift in the same boat: too few days, too many troubles.
IN THE END WE HAVE TOO FEW DAYS AND MANY PROBLEMS!!!
SOMEWHERE IN LIFE WE MUST LEARN PROBLEMS, TROUBLES, CONFLICTS, PAIN AND HEARTACHES ARE PART OF LIFE! OUR PROBLEMS JUST MIGHT OPEN THE DOOR TO A MIRACLE.
PROBLEM: to agitate mentally or spiritually; something that is difficult to deal with; a source of trouble, worry, pain, disappointment; hard to understand; vexation; distress; to feel worried or upset; to disturb; cause pain;
OPPORTUNITY: The amount of time or situation in which something can be done, a good chance for advancement or progress, the conditions are favorable to accomplish goal or desire.
WE MUST GROW A HEALTHY ATTITUDE AND EXPECT TROUBLES AND PROBLEMS.
THE REALITY OF DAILY LIFE IS GOD GAVE US A BRAIN AND FAITH…
WE MUST FIND CREATIVE USE OF CONFLICT AND SEE THIS PROBLEM AND THIS TROUBLE COULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR GOD TO SHOW HIS STUFF.
TEXT:
Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:10 (MSG) Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.

SEEMS WE HAVE THE NATURE, THAT WE JUST WANT TO BLAME SOMEONE FOR OUR PROBLEMS? WHILE WE TEND TO PLAY THE BLAME GAME, WE MIGHT HINDER OUR MIRACLE?
I went in a room while visiting at the hospital. The lady was crying hard and she was soul searching. The visitors from her church had just left her with a heavy thought.
THEY ASKED HER: WHAT TERRIBLE SIN HAVE YOU COMMITTED TO LAND YOU IN THIS HOSPITAL BED?
John 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4 I must work the works of him that Fsent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
GOD CAN OPEN THE DOOR TO OUR MIRACLES:
WE MUST LIVE OUR LIVES BY LOOKING FORWARD. IF WE REALLY HAD GOD VISION WE COULD SEE THAT GOD IS WRITING HISTORY.
If we could but see between the lines in history, we could see God’s UNSEEN HAND at work.
We understand sickness and death are the results of sin. But we are jumping to invalid conclusions we try to make a direct link to: WHY? WHY?
Is that flat tire because you did not give in the offering? Or might it be you have 60,000 miles on a 50,000 mile tire?
PERHAPS WE CAN SEE THIS TROUBLE/PROBLEM IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY?
2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
The more we TRUST GOD and have more FAITH we release the more we could accept this problem is a great opportunity to SEE GOD’S BEST WORK.
IN THIS TRIAL AND STORM ONLY GOD. JESUS PLEASE COME CLOSER.
