Psalm 43:5---Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
Many Christian people have just as many problems as non-Christians. Some Christian believers even have more problems than unbelievers. These kinds of circumstances make some unbelievers ask why they should believe in God when there is no apparent worldly pay-off. The unbeliever will ask in a lack of faith, “What is the use of believing in God if God is not going to give me some benefit to believing? “On the surface, it may seem many Christians are not any better off than non-Christians. However, we have to look deep inside those people who truly believe in a caring, comforting, and compassionate God to see the benefit of believing. When you look inside of believers, you can see a shining light penetrating the darkness. God’s light, love, and peace may not always be visible on the outside of believers, but inside of them, you can find a peace that passes all understanding. The internal life of Christians is one aspect of the Christian faith many non-Christians do not see and do not understand. As Christians, we are able to praise God for His greatness, kindness, and compassion even when we are hurting. In addition, when we praise God in our pain, our hope is increased because God loves us so much He will not leave us to suffer without coming to our aid or assistance in our time of tribulation.
