The Purpose of Trials in Your Spiritual Journey
We fail to look at He who walks on
water, inviting you to come and join Him, just as He did with Peter. Peter
stood up, taking steps toward Christ, but as He got terrified of the wind that
blew hard, He yelped for help, thinking he’d drown.
And that is when Jesus said,
“O you of little faith, why did you
doubt?”
Similarly, as we encounter waves and
turbulences in our lives, we often feel abandoned, thinking our fate is doomed.
We also believe that hardship isn’t just a trial or a test but a punishment
from God. But remember, He is merciful.
The key is changing our perspective
on hardship and trials through spiritual journeys. They don’t enter our lives
to give us sorrow but to strengthen us. For the most beautiful of diamonds are
made in the presence of heat and great pressure, your potential will only be
unlocked when you take the first step, knowing the waters are deep, and persist
through faith. When you know that the man who awaits you at the end of the
rough waters is none other than your friend, He who worries for you and cares
for you, He who created all the stars and called them by name. The purpose of
trials is to strengthen your faith, not to diminish it.
The question is, how does one use
their faith as a weapon against evil and self-doubt? The key is self-reflection,
which can be achieved by keeping a devotional. Author Karen Mitchell presents TheWord of God Thirty-Day Devotional, which will help you develop a healthy
relationship with God. The book includes enlightening insights by the
Evangelist, Karen, as she invites you to meditate daily, strengthening your
faith with the book as your companion.
Enhance your spiritual journey
through trials and tribulations.
The Word of God Thirty-Day Devotional is now available on Amazon.
