1 Thessalonians 3:3
“That no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are appointed to this.”
Trials are a part of life. Being a Christian does not exempt one from appointments with problems.
Peter said, “Don’t think it strange concerning the fiery trials that come your way. For they are sent to test and purify your faith.” (1 Peter 4:12) In other words, hey stuff happens but trust in God. While trials do not make us or break us, they do reveal what’s inside our hearts by how we react.
Lord give us the right perspective and strengthen us along the way.
The Truth
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” (James 1:2-4)
