Going Through Trials
I’ve been on the road a couple weeks and my internet’s been intermittent but I’ve also been at a loss as to know what to write. The purpose of this blog is to bring encouragement and hope to others but, when I’m going through a trial, it can make it harder to do that. However, God’s Word is still true, His love is still sure, and His peace can still reign in the midst of the storm.
Everything that happens to a child of God is for a purpose. We can choose to allow it to make us bitter or we can choose to draw closer to a God who loves us and who desires to walk with us through the valley if we will but let Him. I’m not feeling very strong right now but I know from experience that I will become stronger in my faith and in my walk with the Lord if I allow the fire to produce the gold it desires.
I’ve heard it said that you should be more nervous if everything’s going your way. It’s when things are going wrong that you know the enemy is working overtime which means you are probably impacting the Kingdom more than you realize. Therefore, I press on, desiring this trial to end but trusting God that He has a plan and that, when I come through this, things will be better than before. May He be glorified and praised through my life each day. May I never bring shame to Him in any way. That is my prayer, and I pray that for you as well.
your message is timely. I too just want somethings to go away and not have to deal with them. With Jesus as our guide the valley isn’t always a bad place to be.
