1 Peter 1:6,7 . . . . if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: [7] That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
PRECIOUS TRIALS:
The disciples would never have known Jesus could walk on water if there hadn't been a storm.
Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego would never have known the protection of God in the fire had they not been thrown into the fiery furnace.
Mary and Martha would never have known that Jesus could raise Lazarus from the dead had he not died.
I never would have known that Jesus could deliver me in two "high dose chemo" treatments--each a month long-- without nausea and including me in the 15% survival rate had I not been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Stand still and see the glory of God in your precious trial.
