Saturday Writing by Carol Steficek......11/12/16

Good Morning

The devotional for Saturday is written by Carol Steficek. She named her writing "TRIALS TEST FAITH." The title tells her theme. When we face trials in life lessons will be learned. When God speaks into our life that teach us by His lessons, faith grows. Carol wrote, "Faith goes beyond all evidence.  Faith allows us to walk with God and see how He directs our lives and turns even the bad to good for us."

Have an enjoyable Saturday.
God bless
Corinne & Carol

TRIALS TEST FAITH                                     

"And we know that in all things 
God works for the good of those who love him, 
who have been called according to his purpose.'
 Romans 8:28

    
     
 It is, unfortunately, only through trials that faith tends to grow.  That's generally because when life is going smoothly we often think we have control and we don't really need God.  Faith takes on a new depth and meaning when we come to the "end of our ropes" and see that we are helpless in the face of what confronts us.

     Trials and testing shows our metal, what we're made of as Christians.  Do we continue to mold our wills to God -- to be obedient even though we're tested?  Do we continue to have faith in God even when our intellect can't explain what is happening?  Do we still give our hearts to God even when our emotions are crying out with seeming no relief?

     
      Faith goes beyond all evidence.  Faith allows us to walk with God and see how He directs our lives and turns even the bad to good for us.  One key word is "all."  With God there are no exceptions to His promises to work out good in our lives.

     Trust God in faith, for He is our all in all.
