Tests











We are not promised that we will go
through life trouble-free. Each
problem and difficult circumstance
that we face is actually a test of
sorts...and we have the choice of
dealing with it on our own, relying
on other humans, or turning to the
One who is All-Sufficient. These
trials drive us to His arms and
help us develop a deeper relationship
with the One who knows us best, the
One who created us for His good pleasure,
the One who has a plan and purpose for
our lives.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord
and whose trust is the Lord. For He will
be like a tree planted by the water, that
extends its roots by a stream and will not
fear when the heat comes; but its leaves
will be green, and it will not be anxious
in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7-8
