Image for BCOF members to put in their blogs Prompt: "Do you look for the best in a situation or prepare for the worst?"

I like to think I am a pretty positive person so I usually look for the best in a situation. As a Christian I know that no matter what happens God has it all under control. I know some people question that, particularly in the face of tremendous suffering. They question why God would allow such a thing to happen to them. Sometimes there is no real explanation. Sometimes God tests us because He knows we have it within us to take anything Satan can dish out. Look at the example of Job! If any human being ever suffered it was Job, yet God allowed Job to suffer. We must remember that God did not spare His own Son from suffering, but rather willed that Jesus die on the cross. As such God Himself suffered and died on the cross. If He is willing to subject Himself to such tremendous suffering why should I expect to get through life without suffering loss, ill health, poverty, or the myriad other problems we suffer? The thing is that I can choose to suffer and accept the suffering or I can choose to suffer and be miserable. Either way I am going to suffer. I choose to do so with dignity, integrity, and grace.
