For everyone will be tested by fire” – Mark 9:39 NLT
What if the very thing you’re complaining about is the thing God is using to grow, mature, and purify you so you’re ready for His use…
Today, I want us to really take inventory of what Paul was saying and why. Where is your true righteousness found? Is it found in a checklist you completed daily…read scripture, prayed, was nice…check, is it found in how you serve Gods people, maybe it is found in your accomplishments or even how you are using the gifts God gave you for his kingdom…
God is faithful to finish every work he starts and until it is good in his sight. We know this to be true, yet when the storms of life come in like a rushing flood, we begin to doubt the very things we know he has promised us. We see our challenges as just that…a challenge, opposed to looking at our adverse seasons as “Gods refinement”.
