1Peter 4:12
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial
when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening
to you.
Jesus makes it completely clear in His teaching that we should expect trials if we follow Him. We should not be surprised by any painful trial that we may be going through. Trials are part of the necessary process of growing our faith and our intimacy with Our Lord.
Our faith must be tested. Without trials, we would soon believe that all of our good fortune was of our own making. Through the trials, we build our confidence in Our Savior who faithfully delivers us from each and every challenging period in our lives.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for being our rock and our foundation. We thank You for Your faithfulness in delivering us from the fiery trials in our lives. We pray that we will come to a place where we trust You in all things. May our trust become so complete that we actually learn to rejoice in the face of our trials, knowing the victory is ours in all matters even unto death.
