It's important that we realize we will face trials... fiery trials even. It's NOT unusual, or a 'strange thing', that Christians will have struggles, difficulties, persecutions, hardships, etc. It's to be expected... it's the norm. Our perspective is often clouded by our situation. It's difficult but we CAN get God's view on our difficulty! The wisdom of man is today warring against the wisdom of God... as it always has. The wisdom of man also desires to exalt mankind, and often to exalt anything that is against the knowledge of God. We have to realize that every hard thing we face has the potential to help strengthen our faith in God, and allow us to grow in Him... or it has the potential to shake our faith and leave us questioning His love. Let me assure you...GOD's love for you is intact.He's trustworthy! This can, and will bring Him glory and you strength if you just get His perspective. Having God's perspective will help you in the fiery trial that you are in right now. Don't just have hope in Him but have faith. Then victory in Christ Jesus will be coming your way.
