Let Your Trials do its Perfect Work
Why do we go through trials? I believe that some, not all, are put in our paths to make us better. Typically, trials are hard. They hurt. Sometimes they’re unfair. BUT behind a trial, there may be a work taking place that we may not see… Yet.
Trials can:
1) Break us of our will.
2) Put things into perspective.
3) Make us more grateful.
4). Draw us closer to God.
When we’re broken by circumstance, we become more flexible, and it gives God the opportunity to reshape us. When we’re stubborn, we are harder to work with.
Even though trials can hurt us, they can be good for us. You can profit from them!
James 1:2-4 (New King James Version)
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.
