<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">If you are going to be used by
God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not
meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful
in his hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the
lives of others. Because of this process, you will never be surprised
by what comes your way. You say, “Oh, I can't deal with that
person.” Why can't you? God gave you sufficient opportunities to
learn from Him about that problem; but you turned away, not heeding
that lesson, because it seemed foolish to spend your time that way.</font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">The sufferings of
Christ were not those of ordinary people. He suffered “<b>according
to the will of God” </b>(1 Peter 4:19, having a different point of
view of suffering from ours. It is only through our relationship with
Jesus Christ that we can understand what God is after in His dealings
with us. When it comes to suffering, it is part of our Christian
culture to want to know God's purpose beforehand. In the history of
the Christian church, the tendency has been to avoid being identified
with the sufferings of Jesus Christ. People have sought to carry out
God's orders through a shortcut of their own. God's way is always the
way of suffering - the way of the “Long road home.”</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">Are we partakers of
Christ's sufferings? Are we prepared for God to stamp out our
personal ambitions? Are we prepared for God to destroy our individual
decisions by supernaturally transforming them? It will mean not
knowing why God is taking us that way, because knowing would make us
spiritually proud. We never realize at the time what God is putting
us through - we go through it more or less without understanding.
Then suddenly we come to a place of enlightenment, and realize - “God
has strengthened me and I didn't even know it!”</p>

From Paul's understanding in this portion of 2 Corinthians, we can
see that even he did not understand the wisdom of God in the “thorn
in his flesh.” It was to ensure that his extraordinary visions
concerning the “mysteries” of God would not cause him to have
pride. And do we want to be used of God? Then the wisdom given to
Oswald Chambers concerning the necessity of suffering to prepare us
as channels of God - cannot in any way be by-passed. May God bless us
each one as we determine to press in on this pathway. J.A.W.</span></span></p>
