IN TOUCH DEVOTIONAL 4 AUGUST 2022 THURSDAY | DR CHARLES STANLEY
Today’s Topic: The Trials of Life
God wants you to trust Him when calamity strikes.
DR CHARLES STANLEY DEVOTIONAL AUGUST 4, 2022
SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 1:3-9
Have you ever wondered why God lets bad things happen to you or your loved ones? Hardships and suffering are a consequence of sin and the fallen condition of the world, but why is He allowing distress in your life? Though trials are painful, understanding the Lord’s purpose can bring joy and hope.
When a person is saved, he or she begins the lifelong process of becoming holy. And few things build character like sorrow. Unfortunately, our spiritual growth may be slow during pleasant times, but pain brings us to our knees in dependence upon God as we seek His help, strength, comfort, and grace.
Another reason the Father allows trials is to test and refine our faith. When we go through the fire of affliction and remain true to the Lord, we’ll come out more sure of our salvation. Not only that, but we will have greater trust in God’s character and dealings with us. Then when the next difficulty arises, we will remember His faithfulness during the previous trial and be able to rest confidently in Him. If we submit to the Lord, He’ll use our hardships to mature us, and that’s reason to rejoice.
Bible in One Year: Isaiah 50-53
