However, as we have seen, when one set of troubles subside, new ones replace them. You may ask, "Why does God allow this to happen?" Well, I think He has two reasons: First, we grow best when we experience some suffering. Jesus is more real to me in times of pain, but when everything goes smoothly, I coast along, and then God says, "RT, I don't have your attention now, do I?" Second, God allows us to face frequent trials because He does not want us to become too attached to this earth. He wants us to set our sights on our eternal destination.
