What We Know
Our level of spiritual growth to spiritual maturity is directly tied to the patience we exercise when going through troubled times, trying times, and testing times...
Profiting from Trials
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces [a]patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be [b]perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Trials can be a real test of our trust in God, but when we meet them with the right attitude, they serve to prove the quality of our faith.
We know that:
1.)God is the Lord of all.
2.)We know that he will help us.
3.)God has allowed the trials to come to prove our trust in him and to make our faith stronger.
When trials come, we can still have joy because we know that we can overcome with Gods help. Each time we overcome, we are stronger to fight the next trial.
After trials, we must go on in our trust in God, overcoming each test.... Then ....the trials will achieve the purpose that God has for the situation we are in.
As Christians, we should grow up and be mature in the life that we have with Christ, We will lack nothing, and we will be prepared to accomplish all that God has planned for us. This is the purpose for the trials.
In this life, no person can be perfect, that is without sin, and this is where trials originate. One day, God will make all those who belong to him perfect, and trials will cease.
But until then, continue to stay steadfast in your faith..... God may not fix it when and how we desire.... but faith in His word tells us that it will all work out for our Good (growth spiritually) and His Glory in the end ..... So Lack nothing!!!!
Have a blessed weekend!
