When the world experiences suffering a typical response is to blame God for being careless, cold, and distant. After all, how could a benevolent God allow such hardship? Hebrews 12:4-11 reveals the God-given purpose of the difficulties and hardships we face. God does not waste our hurts and our losses. Through suffering, we experience His faithful provision that has a training effect on our lives to endure by faith in Him. Like a loving father, God purposefully corrects us as we endure by faith to the great embrace.
