KEY TO HOPE - TRIALS

Purpose in the Pain

Why me? Why this? Why now? The trials and suffering we experience are not meaningless – there is purpose in the pain.  Remind yourself today of this promise: God is always with you and will never leave you. No matter what you are facing. NEVER is a very powerful word. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about the word NEVER. God will NEVER abandon you. This doesn't mean you won't endure trials. However, it is His promise to ALWAYS be with you. We can't run, we can't hide, He is ALWAYS with us.

God’s Refining Fire

Do you ever feel you’re being tested? Have you ever thought how much more can I take? How can you hang onto hope when the heat of the trial you’re going through has been turned up another notch? See how God uses the trials in your life to change your character, purify your heart, and beautifully transform turbulent times of suffering into a showcase of His faithfulness.

Facing the agony of the cross, Jesus was in great physical, mental and spiritual distress. He even came to the point where He questioned the Father three times; asking if there might be another way to redeem us, but there was none. Then, Jesus faced the last, most painful trip to the crucible.

The crucible of God’s refining fire, not out of weakness and defeat but out of strength and faith. Faith in the Father who loved Him. Jesus was able to trust the Father’s trial because He trusted the Father’s heart. His heart of love and compassion. He trusted the Father’s wisdom and understanding You too can trust the Father’s heart of love and compassion. You can trust His wisdom and understanding. You can stand firm in the truth of Proverbs 3 verses 5 and 6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.”
 

“He has made everything beautiful in its time.”
(Ecclesiastes 3:11)

 

What Is the Purpose of Trials

  •  Trials are the process of proving the quality or worth of something or someone.
  • Trials are tests of your faith, patience, or endurance through the process of suffering.
  • “Trials” in Greek is primarily three different Greek words, each with a slightly different meaning, yet all reveal God’s purpose for trials and suffering.
    • Dokimion ... proven faith

A testing trial proves whether or not your faith is genuine.  Get our free download and discover God’s purposes and promises in our trials.

God desires to give you hope as you face life challenges, problems and difficult trials. The good news for us, God specializes in redemption and transformation. He takes that which was lost and restores it. He takes that which was dead and gives it life. He takes that which had no hope and rewrites its story. This is our God! As you pray today, ask God boldly to transform the thing inside you that you want to see changed forever!

Thank you for your interest and support in Women of Faith. We pray God will encourage, equip, and empower you with His life-changing truth.
