Trials in Life
Steven Mon May 18, 2009 12:10 am
Struggling or going through a trial? feel like Blaming god or asking him why he would put you so such a thing?
"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience"- James 1:2
God puts trials in our lives to test our faith, its easy to be a good Christian when life is going good, Praise the Lord... But when life is going bad and you feel all alone, are you praising the Lord with all your heart? Are you even reaching out for him?
You know what they say, "your either going into a trial, going through a trial, or coming out of a trial"
Life is not perfect and God puts trials in our lives to test our faith as Christians and wants us to rely on him.

Pastor James MacDonald talked about trials. Check out this verse:
He said that God knows everything thats going on in our life. He used an analogy comparing trials to purifying gold. Gold ore can be mined in the earth and it must go through a process where it is melted down and the impurities are taken out for it to become nice shiny gold. The impurities removed from the gold ore are called slag, trials can be like this process of removing the slag in your life so that you will come out of them as gold.
Gold Ore/You
The purifying process/Your trials
The final product/You after a trial
Dont forget to
Job 23:10 (New International Version)
10 But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.

designed trials

This is from pastor David Wilkerson

I PRAY YOU ARE ENJOYING THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD
There is a text in the original Hebrew that has blessed me greatly, and I want to share it with you. “When designing pursuers approached me, who are far from thy law; then you, O Jehovah, wast near with all thy faithful commandments” (Psalm 119:150-151, Helen Spurrell Translation).
Demonic principalities and powers had surrounded David, trying to bring him and Israel to ruin and destruction. Yet this man of God testified that as the enemy drew near, he trusted the Lord to draw even nearer. David said that God held him by his right hand, walking him through every enemy assault.
Here in David’s testimony is a wonderful promise for you and me. We can be sure Satan is out to destroy, harass and pull down all who love the Lord. The enemy will do all within his power to bring us into a pit of despair, confusion, guilt and condemnation.
Do you have any satanic, “designing pursuers” coming against you right now? Overwhelming temptations? Trials? Financial burdens? Marriage or family problems? Business problems? When your pursuers come near you with a design to destroy you, take heart: the Lord God Almighty is even nearer. He is at your side – and if he is near you, he will act on your behalf. I cannot imagine God being near any child of his and yet sitting by allowing the devil to abuse or corrupt his beloved in any way.
Read Psalm 68:1-4 and see what God has promised to do for you, if you will but trust him. You can claim these four verses for now and throughout the year. Memorize these verses, stand on them, and God will put your enemies to chase.
