We pray for God to get us out of trouble or to keep us out of trouble, but do we ever thank Him for putting us in places where we had to trust Him?
In his song “Through It All”, Andrae Crouch wrote: “If I’d never had a problem, I wouldn’t know that God could solve them."
My most precious memories are the weak, scared, and worried times – times when all I could do was pray, and the sweet Spirit of God wrapped His arms around me and carried me through it all.
When we see our trials from God’s perspective, we’ll see that He is growing our faith and making us strong in weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
