TRIALS ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT STAND BETWEEN US AND THE LAND OF PROMISES.
1 Peter 1:7 (NLT)
“These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold – and your faith is far more precious to God that mere gold. So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.”
1 Peter 1:7 (NLT)

So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.”

All of us know that without a test, it is impossible to prove to both heaven and hell that we have qualified for the things God has planned for us. Life is a series of “trials and tribulations” and at the end of them is God’s blessing for our lives. Whatever it is you are going through there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. When we see the trials coming and when things are difficult, we must remember to hold on and not give up because the end result is so much greater than anything we could ever imagine.
Today might be a struggle for you…you may be in a hardship; but just look above the storm and you will see a God who will take you through the miry clay. We must step into the presence of God and begin to see our situation from heaven’s viewpoint. It is quite different seeing problems through God’s eyes. He has the ability to see a greater picture than we can.
God tells us, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard the great things in store for those who love Me.” As we stand our ground and keep our eyes focused on His Word, we will soon see the victory we so greatly desire.
