Growth Solid Gold Trials

[netchaplain]

Just as the purity of gold increases everytime it goes through the fire, so does the faith of the believer, which progressively strengthens by each "hardness endured" (2 Tim 2:3).

As we know, everything in every day is foreknown by our Father, and being aware of this can allow complete assurance that He has already "worked it together for our good" (Rom 8:28) so that in a mature understanding, we need not allow anything to "trouble" us (John 14:1, 27). Instead, we can always take everything that occurs in our life (including our mistakes), esp. that which we might attempt to see as trouble, and rather see it as that which God brings or allows will always be used by Him for His manifestation and our spiritual growth, which draws us ever closer to Him (Jam 4:8).

With this understanding, the challange is to conclude everything with conception that we can endure with the least amount of disturbance in our faith concerning our every day's occurances. This not only greatly manifests and honors God but also increases our faith in Him the most, all of which is the primary goal of the believer.

Blessed resurrection day to all of you

We have much to endure in this life and even worse things to come and Jesus said to those who endure until the end will be saved. Our trust, our faith, our patience has to be that of the Lord who strengthens us in those trying times as we fear not what the world can do to us.

Mat_10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
