THESE FIERY TRIALS
1st Peter 4:12&13
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory is revealed, you shall be glad also with exceeding joy!
Today's devotional was brought on my many trials that happened today - I began my day in a near accident- someone pulled right out in front of me and I ended up in the median of the road -this shook me - and caused me to be careful the rest of the day - I would love to say the rest of the day went smoothly -but in a word it did not - its a long story - then when I got home and watched some TV - I heard about the disaster in which an interstate bridge collapsed and as many as 6 people lost their lives- all reminders that we live in an uncertain world- things happen we are not prepared for and don't expect- none of us is guaranteed tomorrow- in this life there will be trials- Jesus our Lord reminded His followers of this nearly every day -God allows trials to build our faith - the string of a disaster is hard to get over -but God is using all things to work out HIS will - Peter says we should not think its strange when we go through the fire of trials- he says we should expect it - if you are serving the Lord you must expect the enemy to put you in his cross hairs- if you are in ministry those fiery darts will be fired at you - there are those out there that say if you follow JESUS you will never have another problem - this is not the truth - sure God can and will bless us - but that's not HIS goal for us- we are not here to be blessed but to be a blessing -lets work together when these fiery trials come our way - lets lean on the LORD - and in the mean time we can celebrate in HIS sufferings - these fiery trials will not last forever but our relationship with CHRIST will! Amen!
A SIDE NOTE: We are either going through some trial -or we are leaving one trial going on to another - but as long as we breathe on this side of Heaven -we will have trials!
In CHRIST we endure all the trials of life.
