which reminded me of fire testing silver.

The following ideas about ‘trial’ were explained by Pastor Charles Stanley during a sermon on a TV program that I watched many years ago. They were very concise and good reminders:

1. God is in control of the timing and intensity of the trial.

2. God has a specific purpose for allowing this trial in your life.

3. This trial is designed to meet a specific need God sees in your life.

4. This trial is going to be for your good if you respond in faith.

5. This trial can strengthen your faith.

6. This trial is an opportunity for God to demonstrate His power to sustain you under the great pressure.

7. This trial is developing Christ-like character in you.

8. This trial will help you measure your spiritual growth.

9. God will walk with you through every single step of this trial.

10. By the grace and power of the Holy Spirit, we will be conquerors.
