Why do Christians have problems? Sometimes it is the trial of faith — and in that case, we are to endure until the trial passes. But a major reason why believers face unnecessary problems is that they do not follow God's prescribed order. We think we are doing the right thing, but God is not interested in any special thing we do for Him — He is only concerned that we follow His ordinance. God will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are tested, He provides the strength to endure and a way of escape. The question is: are you following His order, or your own?
