Not Why, But What For
Life often leaves us asking “Why, God?” when pain, loss, or confusion comes. But what if God invites us to shift our focus? In this episode, we explore the life-changing truth that instead of asking why things happen, we should ask what for? What purpose is God working out through this moment? From Joseph’s imprisonment to Paul’s suffering, we’ll see that God always uses difficulty as a tool for refinement, direction, and ministry.
When we learn to view trials through God’s eyes, we begin to live with peace instead of panic, purpose instead of pain. You’ll discover three practical steps for daily victorious living: shifting from explanation to expectation, letting pain produce praise, and using your story to strengthen others. God may not always explain why, but He always reveals what for, and that changes everything.
Experience a New Life in Jesus Christ
If you have not yet experienced the life-changing power of a relationship with Christ, we invite you to open your heart to Him today. Embrace the truth of His resurrection and embark on a journey of transformation, guided by His presence and fueled by His mission of love and redemption.
The Bible teaches us in Romans 10:9-10 that “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.”
Do it today and start enjoying a new life in Jesus Christ.
