Why does the Lord allow trouble in the lives of His saints? The Apostle Peter was thrown into prison even though He was preaching Jesus and honoring God.
The church members called a prayer meeting, and God busted him out. It was an amazing escape.
Acts 12:7-8 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
A godly life is not a hedge against trouble. Sometimes, the closer one lives to Jesus the more they suffer for Jesus (Job, David, Paul, and Elijah).
Why does the God allow trouble in the life of Christians? He might want to grow your faith or help someone else or simply glorify Himself. He is greater than any need.
