(KJV.) I PETER 1:7
(7) That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
FAITH, IN THE FIRE!
Grace be unto you! Do anyone else besides me, ever wondered why at times when we enter into the season of trials, though we fasted, prayed, praised, worshiped the LORD; for awhile things eased up, we are glad, then all of a sudden, bomb! another phase of the trials begins?
If so, let us reiterate the above text; "That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire." at times, the trials of our faith, is to establish the truthfulness, genuineness of who we are in Christ; therefore, whenever in trails, let us think positively, no matter how difficult situations may be, at the end, all things will work together for good; the test of faith, comes in different phases, the stronger the believe, the higher the trials of faith; for instance; Job was faithful, feared God, perfect, upright, and eschewed evil, yet he was tested with fire, evil works by Satan, to the point whereby he lot everything except his life, cf. Book of Job; the faithful he was with God in his trails, the more intensified was his trials until he lost everything, he went through the furnace of fire, in other to proven his faith's authenticity, but he did not turn away from believing in his maker; same were the three Hebrew young men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, due to faith, were thrown into the furnace of fires, Daniel casted into the lions den as well. cf. Book of Daniel, etc.; but God was faithful, delivered them from the hands of evil; therefore, if we find ourselves in any predicaments, as believers, never give up the faith in Jesus, blame ourselves or others, charge Jesus, but pray fervently, read his words, trusting, and believing in him, wait upon his deliverance.
Beloved, as true followers of Christ; once we overcome one level of trials, it is only a matter of time, before the enemy, will come back to pester again, therefore, never be lay back Christians, be ware, vigilant, strengthen in the faith, always abounding in the scriptures, to behold the face of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, after the trials are finally over, he brings peace, joy, crown of pure gold, with the everlasting glories. Love ye one another! Peace and Love be unto you! Amen and Amen!
