6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer various trials, 7so that the authenticity of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Trials! Why Lord?
We have all been there, you maybe going through one right now!
And we ask why?
I recall one big trial Cecilia and I went through, I was the adoption of our son. He was ten years old when we got him. It just seems the whole period we had him was one big huge trial! But why?
Why wasn't he appreciative?
Why didn't he accept his new home?
Why didn't he want to learn and use the tools he was taught?
It's because he was caught in his past. He was rejected, he was thrown away like trash and couldn't get over it.
He would never be put in that position again! No never. He would be in charge of his own destiny even to his ruin.
Please pray for him!
I believe God blessed us because we did everything possible for our son. The "trial" affected our health, job, friends, neighbors, community, church and more.
But God was faithful. We kept the faith.
In your trial(s) keep your faith like Job did. He will refine you with fire, like gold, for His purposes. He has a plan for you.
Blessings, David
