3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 1:3-7
Trials, road blocks and dead ends. We have all had them in our lives and continue to have them because God is testing us. You probably ask, why is God testing me and always seem to test me. Have you thought of how many times you have had faith that God would help you the moment the trial came? A lot of times we forget the times where God has come through, and focus only on the current situation. We need to learn how we can focus on what He has done and what He can continue to do. Trials build faith, strength and love for our Lord and Savior. The next time a trial comes, think about His involvement.
Have a great weekend.
