Necessary Trials for a child of God!

Hebrews 5:8 " Though he were a Son,yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered".

It is always consoling to us to behold the footsteps of our Lord.When we see him tried, we cheerfully submit to the trail.When we percieve that in his case an exception to the rule of chastening might have been expected,and yet none was made,we are encouraged to bear our sufferings patiently.See there are necessary trails for a child of God.There are some things we must endure and go through as a child of the King.

Being a son does not exempt us from suffering,not even Jesus escaped suffering.He was the only begotten of the Father,He was honored as the beloved first born of the Father.He was faithful and sinless,and later  the glorified Son and yet he was not exempt from Suffering.No prayer,no matter how ernest will remove every thorn in the flesh.No love in God's child,will prevent his being tried.But suffering does not hinder our Sonship.The trials and tribulations we are faced with don't alter who we are or whose we are or at least it should't.Obedience has to be learned even by the Sons/daughters of God.What is to be done and suffered can only be learned by actual exercise of obedience.It must be learned by suffering.Suffering has a peculiar power to teach true children of God.See it touches the man's self,his bone, his flesh,and his heart.It will try your faith, test your grace and prove your obedience.It goes to the root,and test the truth of your new nature.It shows whether repentance,faith, and prayer are real or for show.It test our endurance, and makes us see how far we have grown in our obedience,"thou you slay me yet I will I trust in Him". 

The anxious question, Am I a son? The aspiring desire, Let me learn obedience;The accepted discipline,I submit to suffer.If we want to reign with the risen Lord,we must be willing to suffer with the crucified savior. There are necessary trials for a Child of God.
