1 Chronicles 19:1-20:8; Ezekiel 18:1-19:14; John 6:41- 7:11
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials. 1 Peter 1:6 NKJV
Peter goes on to say that these various trials are used by God to refine our faith, resulting in praise, honour, and glory to the Lord. We live in a fallen world that is steeped in sin. This brokenness is the cause of much of our sufferings. Yet God can still use it for His work in us. However, there are other trials that are specifically directed by God for His intended purposes (John 9:3). May our faith grow to accept God’s hand in the trials that come our way, and seek to grow in them bringing praise, honour and glory to Him. —Sam Thorpe
I thank you Lord,
for the trials that come my way.
In that way I can grow each day
as I let you lead. —Dan Burgess
