Psalms 34:19 A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him form them all

HAVE MANY TROUBLES

In the Old Testament God promised blessing and success for those who obeyed His law. Yet alongside this promise is the reality that righteous people “may have many troubles” (Hebrews 11:33-38; 12:5-10).

Believing in Gods and living right will not guarantee material gain or keep us from trouble and suffering in this life. Instead, commitment to God often brings persecution and spiritual testing (Matthew 5:10). God has determined that we must go through many hardships to enter His kingdom (Acts 14:22; 1 Corinthians 15:19; 1 Timothy 3:12). These difficulties are not a matter of punishment or a way for one to earn a place in His kingdom. They are tools for learning and for growing. They are the means to make us stronger emotionally and spiritually.
Our suffering must be balanced by the knowledge that God desires to rescue us out of all our troubles. When His purpose for allowing the difficulties is accomplished, He then rescues us either by direct supernatural action in this life (Hebrews 11:33-35) or by victorious death that takes us into eternal life with Him (Hebrews 11:35-37).
