Have you ever felt like test and trials are just happening to you ?
Do you ever just sit and think why me ?
I am sure we have all been there.
Sometimes it seems like it just rains on us while everyone else is just sunshine. I had a season where no matter what the rain was just coming down.
During this season I begin to ask the Lord , what have I done to make you mad at me? Silly prayer right , but that is where my heart was.
The Lord begin speaking to me that sometimes we go through situations because of consequences from our sins and actions. Sometimes we go through things because of other’s choices that have a detrimental affect on us. Sometimes he’s removing things so we draw closer to Him.
This verse spoke to me. I begin thinking of other believers that had gone through so much more than I ever have and they stood without wavering.
I have learned that sometimes I just have to trust, which is hard when I have the plan all figured out. I have learned that when I surrender my plan to the Lord it works out so much better than I could have imagined.
I just want to be found faithful. I want to be obedient. I never wanna go back to my old life. I want to stand faithful.
God allows test and trails so that we realize that He is all we need. We need to lean on Him. We need to believe that He will provide. When God is testing us it will not destroy us or harm us.
Has God placed something in your heart? Start praying and planning to walk in what God has called you to do.
James 1:12
12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.
