Your Faith On Trial
1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Faith in God doesn't exempt you from life's trials; it sustains you in them and you grow stronger as a result of them.
Trials come in different areas such as sickness, unemployment, relational conflict, and personal challenges.
And trails, like storms, have different intensity levels. But most trials have one thing in common: they make you say, 'if only I could understand why this is happening.'
The Bible answers this : many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all (Psalm 34:19)
God is not a Santa Claus or your concierge, it's not His job to give you everything you want, exactly when you want it, He has His own time frame for everything.
Claiming God's promises doesn't mean you will escape adversity.
His words says, 'Do not think it's strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you'
Real maturity often takes place in the crucible of pain.
The truth is, you will never know how strong your Faith is until you've been there.
Trials determines the level of your Faith..
Don't give up.
God bless you.
