Good morning my RP Family. The Colonel always has such relevant topics for us. Today’s topic is one that I really appreciate. When I have a problem that befuddles my imagination, as to how to solve it, I turn to scripture to see what God would have me do to solve the problem I may be facing. I seem to turn to Him more every day. I ask you, is there a better source for understanding your problem(s)? The below article shows how to do what we are talking about. Have a blessed day today and always.

God's Purpose Behind Your Problems

My troubles turned out all for the best. They forced me to learn from your textbook. Truth from your mouth means more to me than striking it rich in a gold mine. Psalm 119:71-72 (Msg)
Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you - depending on how you respond to them.
Unfortunately, most people fail to see how God wants to use problems for good in their lives. They react foolishly and resent their problems rather than pausing to consider what benefit they might bring.
Here are five ways God wants to use the problems in your life:
1. God uses problems to DIRECT you - Sometimes God must light a fire under you to get you moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and motivate us to change. Is God trying to get your attention? "Sometimes it takes a painful situation to make us change our ways." Pr. 20:30 (GN)
2. God uses problems to INSPECT you - People are like teabags if you want to know what's inside them, just drop them into hot water! Has God ever tested your faith with a problem? What do problems reveal about you?
When you have many kinds of troubles, you should be full of joy, because you know that these troubles test your faith, and this will give you patience. (James 1:2-3, NCV)
3. God uses problems to CORRECT you - Some lessons we learn only through pain and failure. It's likely that as a child your parents told you not to touch a hot stove. But you probably learned by being burned. Sometimes we only learn the value of something - health, money, a relationship - by losing it.
It was the best thing that could have happened to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws. (Ps. 119:71-72, LB)
4. God uses problems to PROTECT you - A problem can be a blessing in disguise if it prevents you from being harmed by something more serious. Last year a friend of mine was fired for refusing to do something unethical that his boss asked him to do. His unemployment was a problem - but it saved him from being convicted and sent to prison a year later when his boss actions were uncovered.
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good . (Gen. 50:20, NIV)
5. God uses problems to PERFECT you. - Problems, when responded to correctly, are character builders. God is far more interested in your character than your comfort. Your relationship to God and your character are the only two things you're going to take with you into eternity.
We can rejoice when we run into problems they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady. (Rom. 5:3-4, LB)
Here's the point: God is at work in your life - even when you do not recognize it or understand it. But it's much easier and profitable when you cooperate with Him!

Good morning from the road COL Mikel J. Burroughs . As a counselor I often deal with clients who try to ignore or run from a problem. Turning around facing the problem and solving it is the best approach. If it isn't solvable, it is a fact to be dealt with as best you can.

Good morning Col Burroughs. Great quote for this Tuesday morning. The easiest way to solve a problem is to face it head on. Dwelling over the problem only prolongs the issues. Look at the problem roots game plan a solution then put it into action. Problems don't go a way they only get worse. There's no shame in asking for assistance. Just solve the problem and keep moving forward. Have a great day Col Burroughs and all my Rally Point friends. Stay safe everyone!
