Word for Today, Fri, 30 Aug 2002: What Good Are Trials and Difficulties?
Posted by: masinick <masinick@...>
As we come to the close of a work week, I would like to share
with you just a short scripture passage and prayer.
My prayer for today and for this week is that each of us will
honestly turn to God for the answers to all of our issues, not
just when we're looking for yet another confirming, feel good
experience. Our hope doesn't come from the things in the world -
many of us have lost hope in such things anyway. Our hope comes
from Christ - we know what God is like when we know Christ
personally.
Your Brother in Christ,
Brian

Verse: These troubles come to prove that your faith is pure. This
purity of faith is worth more than gold, which can be proved
to be pure by fire but will ruin. But the purity of your
faith will bring you praise and glory and honor when Jesus
Christ is shown to you. 1 Peter 1:7 (NCV)
Prayer: Dear Lord, it is hard to see how this trial can be a
gift, but I know that you are faithful to your word. Use this
trial to refine my faith and bring you praise and glory. Amen.
