1 Peter 1:7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold-though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
Just as silver and gold are sent through fire to be refined, so God refines His people through the "fire" of trials and difficulties. In life, we all face challenges that threaten to test our faith. However, God promises to refine and restore us to a better place when we step out in faith and push through to the victory that is waiting on the other side. Going through pain is never comfortable and that is the moment when we find ourselves stretching forth our arms to the King of Comfort. God never puts us through painful or uncomfortable situations without a divine reason. The next time you find yourself in the heat of the battle, remember that God is using your struggle to mold and shape you into the person He's called you to be!
