“He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.”
God will not use someone greatly; until He has tested them thoroughly!!
1 Thessalonians 2:4
“But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.”
Romans 8:18
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
Smith Wigglesworth once said, “From great Fights will come great Faith.”
Many of life’s experiences and lessons have taught me the following Truth… God is ALWAYS in the midst of our best times and is there to help us in our worst times. There WILL always be times in life that are tougher to endure but these are usually the times that teach us the GREATEST lessons and develop our reliance on Christ. Our Heavenly Father cares about what we endure for His sake! He will help those who call on His Name!! (Remember God’s calling card – Jeremiah 33:3) He will give us “strength” to go through it, or to deliver us out of it!! When He allows us to go through a tough time, He knows what we are made of! And He knows that when we come out of it we will not only become a much better Christian and someone who looks more like Christ Jesus, but will be ready for a HUGE Blessing to overtake us!!
1 Corinthians 16:13 (NKJV)
“Watch, stand fast in the Faith, be brave, be strong.”
I encourage you to hold on to Faith in God and LET GO of the thoughts of despair! When things go wrong, know that God is Strong!! GOOD comes out of what “hurts” you, if you allow GOD to “help” you! Remember that a bird sitting on a branch is unafraid, not because of the strength of the branch, but because of her ability to fly!! God gives us that ability to fly when things are broken!!
God Bless You As Trust God & Pray About Your Troubles Instead Of Complaining About Them!!
