“The trial of your faith.”

- 1-Peter+1:7

I found this great passage under the same listing (Key Verse.) for today,
I have read and admired the works of great men of God who plainly, gracefully, eloquently place the words of God in our ears so that we might fortune another day in His Glory. We have so much work here @ Better Tomorrows for the year is soon coming to a close. For a great some time now it has been the desire to reach people in different tongs, share the description of God’s Love in their language. Surely the enemy however has brought many trials to make this less an attractive a move, but we serve a powerful God and if in times of trail we trust in Him He will lead the way, it has not been shy of disappointment on all ends of the spectrum when it come to those trials. I have found myself when faced with physical threats not acting the Godly man He would have me to be. I say all this because some may not want you to know the trials they experience, maybe because they think it shows a sense of weakness. Yet are we not week as a lamb before the site of the Living God, strong as a lion in His mist, it is His strength that forges us forward, it is His power that makes us strong, It is His grace that brings us to Salivation, It is His Love that will lead us Home.
Charles H. Spurgeon wrote this:        

Faith untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith, and it is likely to remain dwarfish so long as it is without trials. Faith never prospers so well as when all things are against her: tempests are her trainers, and lightnings are her illuminators. When a calm reigns on the sea, spread the sails as you will, the ship moves not to its harbour; for on a slumbering ocean the keel sleeps too. Let the winds rush howling forth, and let the waters lift up themselves, then, though the vessel may rock, and her deck may be washed with waves, and her mast may creak under the pressure of the full and swelling sail, it is then that she makes headway towards her desired haven. No flowers wear so lovely a blue as those which grow at the foot of the frozen glacier; no stars gleam so brightly as those which glisten in the polar sky; no water tastes so sweet as that which springs amid the desert sand; and no faith is so precious as that which lives and triumphs in adversity. Tried faith brings experience. You could not have believed your own weakness had you not been compelled to pass through the rivers; and you would never have known God’s strength had you not been supported amid the water-floods. Faith increases in solidity, assurance, and intensity; the more it is exercised with tribulation. Faith is precious, and its trial is precious too.

Let not this; however, discourage those who are young in faith. You will have trials enough without seeking them: the full portion will be measured out to you in due season. Meanwhile, if you cannot yet claim the result of long experience, thank God for what grace you have; praise him for that degree of holy confidence whereunto you have attained: walk according to that rule, and you shall yet have more and more of the blessing of God, till your faith shall remove mountains and conquer impossibilities.

Lord it is you your might that man have stood tall, it is in your wonderful hands that molded us, it is in your infinite wisdom we grow from our experiences, Make me a leader of your Grace, an example of Your Love to mankind, and Lord show me to have patients when times get tough knowing you are that master of all that exists………….

I seek a clean and sober Life Today
