I like a lot the explanation given by brother Daniel Brânzai
to the verse 15 from Job chapter 36: ” He shall rescue the poor from their
anguish; and he shall use tribulation to open their eyes”. We would think
that our Lord saves us through a miraculous intervention. That He takes the
anguish with His hand. Or that He rescue us through death, in the “worst
case”. But the pastor Brânzai made me to understand that sometimes I get
out of affliction through a greater affliction! He stated that someone said in
his church that ” Joseph was more secure in the prison of Egypt than at
home among his brothers!”

What a truth, what a great principle! God permitted
banishment for the Jews to save them from idolatry , He allowed the christian
oppression to get christians out from their confort, from
“ghettoization” . He permitted London to be burned in the 11th
century so as to escape this town from leprosy, He allowed the killing of
Jews to Auscwitz, He permitted that we
live under communism…

I looked in my life and I understood why God let me to be
grown by some adoptive parents (after my mother left me): because I was more
secure with the family of a drunkard father than with my biological family that
did not want me!

God rescue us from tribulations even getting us through
other tribulations! Even if we do not like it! Do you understand why Christ
adviced us to pluck out the eye that push us to sin or to cut the hand that
steals? He does it so as we avoid the hell! It would not be better to avoid it
without gouged eyes or cut hands? Or without going through any affliction?
