In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:6-7

 Not too many people find joy in the midst of a trial. The washing machine breaks down, the roof leaks, you just wrecked your car or your baby is sick and you feel helpless….or maybe all of these things happen at once. Life has a way of running into these difficult moments, leaving one to question how they will manage through it financially, emotionally, even spiritually.

 As a child of God, you have to recognize the fact that every trial that comes your way has been sifted through God’s hands. He knows the difficulty strains you, it tests your faith and most certainly your patience. But through the God approved difficulty, He has a plan to grow your faith, to strengthen your trust in Him as you lay your burden at His feet, humbly seeking His help (1 Peter 5:6).

 Sometimes the greatest difficulty in the trial is letting go and letting God help you.

 Maybe your have your mind wrapped around your difficulty, plagued by stress, anxiety and sleepless nights. If this is you, it’s time to truly stand strong on your knees and pray to the God who can do all things through you with His strength (Philippians 4:13). You know He can do it, He’s done it before and He is capable to doing it again. TRUST HIM COMPLETELY and He will come through for you, as you give Him the praise, glory and honor He so much deserves. God bless!
