From minor inconveniences to the most traumatic events in our lives, God wants to use every painful event to draw us closer to himself and impart wisdom. If we understand, God's purposes for our times of struggle, we'll trust him to instead of getting angry with him, and we'll see each diffilculty as a steppingstone to the next level of our spiritual journey. Then, even when we don't fully understand what God is doing, we'll be convinced that he knows, he cares and he'll lead us.

In "The Next Level" book by Scott Wilson, we'll look at people in the Bible and the tests they faced.

You may know someone who is in the middle of touch situation and could use some hope and encouragement.
