Trials are not for destruction but for elevation

No temptation has overtaken you except such as common to man, but God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation, will also make the way of escape that you may be able to bear it – 1 Corinthians 10 : 13.

This flower was passing through trials in life. Most times, we feel that it is only humans that pass through difficulties, all what God has created always pass through one trials or the other.

This flower was suffering. The owner forgot to give water to the plant and in the course of this, the red color appeared which made the flower become more beautiful.

When things were alright with the plant, no one knows that it has such a beautiful color in the inside of it but trials  force it to bring out what God has placed in it.

This plant is like us human beings, when things are alright with us, we seem to forget that the Creator Himself was our designer who has so designed us with many beautiful things in the inside of us to the extent that no trials can overcome us if we stand firm. He never made any mistake in all that He has created.

Any trials you are facing, stop complaining and ask Him to give you the grace to pass through it. Without trials, there is no elevation. Because of His love for us, He cannot allow us to be tried or tested more than our strength can bear. Don’t take your eyes away from Him.

Many times we pray that God should take every problem away from us but God want to see the beauty which He has placed in us to come out but we try to shy away from the trials because we feel it is for our destruction. We begin to say, Oh God why me! This world is full of temptations although some are more serious than others but remember that the Lord is with you and keep telling you to push on my son, push on my daughter you can overcome it.

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulations, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world – John 16 : 33.

Any trial that come our way no matter how great or small it might be, is always new to us but not to God, therefore, He has equipped us with all that we need to overcome it. Be encouraged and face that circumstances that you have in your life because you are an over-comer in Christ Jesus.

Prayer: Father, I thank You for every trials that You allow to come my way despite the fact that it is new to me but it is not new to You. Give me the grace to always remember that You created me in Your own image therefore you have equipped me with all that I need to face any trials that come my way and come out victorious in the name of Jesus Christ.
