The Testing Of Our Faith Produces Endurance

 Whether we are faced with fleshly temptations that rise up from our old sin nature or testing trials that come from above, we know that God takes all things and weaves them together for the good, to those that love God and are called by grace through faith in Christ, according to His purpose.
  Loss of hope and discouragement should not replace our joy in the Lord. Difficult trials and disappointing happenings are used by God to test our trust in Him and to draw us into a deeper dependency upon His faithful provision and His unconditional love.
 We are to meet our various trials with an attitude of joyful thanksgiving, knowing that The Testing Of Our Faith Produces Endurance. If we meet endurance with a godly attitude of complete dependence upon God and trust in His unfailing Word, we discover that the end result of that testing trial will be the perfecting of our faith as we grow in grace and draw closer to our Heavenly Father - in love.
 Let us be increasingly aware that the trials of life are used by God for our eternal benefit and for His greater glory. 
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that Your grace is sufficient for every trial and difficulty that we will face in our lives. May we be ready and willing to patiently learn the lessons that You would teach us in each situation in life, knowing that we are being perfected in the process. Help us learn to patiently endure with joyful thanks. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
