Good Lesson!: "Gain thru Pain"
Your faith in God is strengthened when you trust Him to take care of you during a time of trial or uncertainty and He proves Himself able to meet your need!
He is able, He is faithful, He loves you, He wants what is best - trust Him! (especially during the hard times). God will bless you, He will take care of you!
(Then, after going through a hard time, after "you've made it", realize that God did it; if you trusted Him to help you and He did, give Him the credit, the glory - thank God!)
This is how you "gain" (grow in faith, in trusting in God)
thru "pain" (life's hard times of uncertainty).
Hebrews 11:1,6
1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”
James 1:2-3
2 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;”
3 “Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.”
