Trials Lead to Devotion Joy N. Elias

- Christianity
Problems, challenges, and trials make up some of the most painful and dark periods in our lives. Living through them is agonizing and remembering them may be something we quickly eschew. But I want to encourage you to see problems, challenges, and trials as good and necessary experiences in your life. The Psalmist went as far as praising God for putting him through suffering. God uses affliction in the process of sanctification to refine us more into the image of Jesus Christ.
a. Change your attitude toward trials
b. Praise God for trials. God is good in the trials
c. Trials drive you closer to God through His Word
d. Faithfulness to God is based on obedience to His Word
e. Trials should not be a temptation to sin but an opportunity to be faithful to God
Ps 119:65-72
