You may feel the same as the small boy whose parents insisted that he eat some spinach at the dinner table one evening.  The boy said, "Why are all the vitamins in spinach and not in ice cream where they belong?"

 

I'm not sure why that is-I'm just sure that's the way it is.  Spinach is loaded with more of the kind of nutrition that we need than ice cream.  But it's also true that the tough experiences of life bring about more of what we need than the easy experiences.

 

We would all prefer an easier road in life but the difficult climbs usually bring us closer to God.  Paul discovered this with his "thorn in the flesh" experience.  God did not take it away but instead caused it to stay.  And He taught Paul that His "grace would be sufficient...and (His) power would be made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:8-9).

 

So the next time you have to eat spinach and not ice cream, find some comfort in knowing that there is something you need in the experience and there will be some benefit by going through it.

 

In the meantime, I think I'm going to finish this article and run to the refrigerator to get some Blue Bell.  How about that for a scoop!
