The older I get and
the more I study Scripture the more certain I become of its principals. One of them is that there are certain life
lessons that we can only learn through trials and tribulations.
Luke 22:31-32(NKJV)
And the Lord
said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may
sift you as wheat.
But I have prayed
for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”
Here we have Jesus
letting Simon know that Satan coming after Him.
Notice what Jesus does and doesn’t do.
What Jesus didn’t do is stop Satan from testing Simon. Jesus could have easily stopped him. Instead Jesus prayed for Simon that he would
make it through the testing. To me that
is confirmation of the principal that some of life's lessons can only be
learned through tribulation.
