No suffering in life is too great for the plan of God. In fact, God intends for us to have blessing in the very midst of suffering. The pain, the heartaches, the difficulties of life are designed to stretch us beyond our human resources and confront us with our total dependence on the grace of God. They direct our attention to the things that are important in life—fellowship with God, learning the Word, growing in grace. When in suffering we draw upon the doctrinal resources in our souls and use the assets God has given us, we realize that God is “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Ps. 46:1). Our love for Him grows stronger, we develop perseverance and confidence in the spiritual life, and we achieve a higher plane of spiritual growth.

This audio special is a compilation of lessons that address the categories and purposes of suffering, the divine solutions to adversity, and the marvelous blessings enjoyed by the believer in undeserved suffering.
