Behold, I give you all authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means harm you. (Luke 10:19, NKJV)
I read something today that tempted me to get irritated. Please don't fall for stuff like the following snippet...it totally undermines the wonderful goodness of God.
"If you are going through something difficult, it's because God is preparing you for something great!”
There is one reason we go through something difficult. John 10:10 & Psalm 34:19.
However, the end result for us is the end of John 10:10 and Psalm 34:19 and that is this "But I have come to give you life in excessive abundance" and "But God delivers us out of them all".
And by the way, God is ALWAYS preparing us for something great! Because He is great! He doesn't have to drag us through difficulties (Isaiah 5:20) to prepare us for greatness (2 Corinthians 2:14).
Another popular one is, "Everything happens for a reason." I can almost hear the long drawn out sigh before and after that statement.
Dr. Bill Hanshew addresses that very well. You can find his response at the link.
