If silence and anonymity doesn't brood for a while over the knowledge you've acquired so it can become wisdom, the possessor of the knowledge can easily become a fool.

You will always do the time needed in the refinery of pain, you can't cheat the process, you can only reschedule it, whether now or later, it will always happen.

The divine hands of providence are so mighty that everything within and outside of creation is under God's control, and that is why the Apostle Paul said all things work together for our good.

I have always been curious about one detail often overlooked at the end of Job, that great story of human suffering. The author takes pains to point out that in the end Job received double all he had lost in his time of trials: 14,000 sheep to replace the 7000; 6000 camels to

replace 3000; a thousand oxen and donkeys to replace 500. There is one exception: previously Job had seven sons and three daughters, and in the restoration he got back seven sons and three daughters—the same number, not double. Could the author have been silently hinting at the

eternal perspective? From that view Job did indeed receive double, ten new children here to go with the ten he would one day rejoin.

To view the role of pain and suffering properly, one must await the whole story. Promises of it abound in the Bible: "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong,

firm and steadfast" (1 Peter 5:10). "These troubles and sufferings of ours are, after all, quite small and won't last very long. Yet this short time of distress will result in God's richest blessing upon us forever and ever! So we do not look at what we can see right now,

the troubles all around us, but we look forward to the joys in heaven which we have not yet seen. The troubles will soon be over, but the joys to come will last forever" (2 Corinthians 4:17-18)

"What makes us unique is that we have hung so long from the cross that we have become masterful at getting beauty out of agony. In the absence of generational wealth,

strategic cultural advantage, in the absence of the things of this world, we have instead been awarded with a glory that is unique to anybody that has been denied." — Bishop T.D. Jakes

If there is a secret to handling suffering, the spirit must be fed so that it can break free beyond the constraints of the body. Christian faith does not always offer resources to the body, but it sure nourishes the spirit that will one day rejoin a perfected body.

God has planned the strength and beauty of youth to be physical. But the strength and beauty of age is spiritual. We gradually lose the strength and beauty that is temporary so we'll be sure to concentrate on the strength and beauty which is forever. It makes us more eager to

leave behind the temporary, deteriorating part of us and be truly homesick for our eternal home. If we stayed young and strong and beautiful, we might never want to leave!

The loss that death brings is only for a while, it is temporal. In death we face a beginning not an end.

The last enemy to be defeated is death which is the peak of pain and suffering here on earth.
12
Christian faith does not offer us a peaceful way to come to terms with death. No, it offers instead a way to overcome death. Christ stands for Life, and his resurrection should give convincing proof that God is not satisfied with any cycle of life" that ends in death.

He will go to any extent—he did go to any extent—to break that cycle.

The resurrection and its victory over death brought a decisive new word to the vocabulary of pain and suffering: temporary. Jesus Christ holds out the startling promise of an afterlife without pain. Whatever anguish we feel now will not last.
