I have now finished Andrew Murray's 31 day devotional "Waiting on God", and thought I would capture a few finals thoughts, as I put this series in the archives.
Contrary to many Christian thinkers, the Scriptures are replete with references that life on this earth, living in a fallen world, with fallen creatures, will bring many trials, tribulations, and sufferings.
Suffering is inescapable. Given this, it serves us well to seek God's advice when we encounter these periods, or find our friends, and family in these sufferings.
This book has become a very special text to me, and I am most grateful to Andrew Murray for helping me reshape my thinking in this regard.
Before this text, my expectation was, "God, get me out of here". But, it would seem, this is part of life, and God uses, and can even be glorified in our trials.
As of this writing, I would say that I have not found the peak of this particular period of trial in my life. I long for it. I feel weary, but now I have a most trusted friend in this text to refer to, and help me to better have a holy view of our sufferings.
I highly recommend this text to anyone who is in a period of prolonged suffering.
