We should entirely ensue God's word, place confidence in God through faith and try not to defy Him. Sounds simple right? OK, it can be a rough life ensueing God. God never assured us that life was going to be simple as ABC. All those that have walked away from the world and gave up their subjection to it, are the people that experience a multitude of tests and trials. Many will Trust God by believing in Him.
As we begin a test or trial, we ought to search for a clear and distinct conclusion and so we want to grasp all the information we can extract out of it as we pass through it. Sadly we fail to do this, we commence to get anxious or become frightened. That is not not a way to gain strength, this disrupts us from advancing spiritually. We are poor in faith and it divulges to God that we don't rely on Him or that we don't believe that He will accompany us through our hardships.
Some people will experience many of the tests and trials and they won't figure out the things that are taking place or should I say, "What they can profit from them." Let me put it this way, when we are hit with a bad situation, what side do we basically focus on? We look at the down side to this situation and we are then taking on the worry or fear of this problem. What is it about us that we need to add more fuel to the fire? It just means that we lost our Trust in God. That is why we should always Trust God.
Nothing on earth terminates faith more suddenly than worries, fears and doubts. That is the basic reason followers do not know how to participate in or know the hard information about most of the writings that are scribed in the Bible. Most will never grow spiritually because they will not let go of their fear. People in every instance think about a opposite ending than what God has waiting for them.
There is no dimension of time set for these tests and trials, some might only take as little as 3 minutes, as several may endure for as long as a month. This is why it might be crucial for you to be awake. Forever be aware of what’s taking place and you don't want to be too fast to hop right into a problem.
Don't get discouraged about tests and trials, work with them. They can be so propulsive that there are just no words to put together to explain about them as you pass through them free of worries, fears and doubts. You become so used to going through them and your faith is so intense that these three words are no longer a burden to your life.
Jesus told us to, ‘Pick up our cross and follow Him.’ Certainly, you won't be able to journey with Him if you can't maintain your trust in Him. You can either angle off to the left or to the right. You will certainly be wandering around inside yourself. A person can’t show you the way back to God, but Jesus can, once you ask Him to and believe in Him. Just like you should Trust God.
God wants us to experience these tests and trials because He cares about us. He would like for us to be able to grow to spiritual maturity. Jesus will request from the Father to give us theHoly Spirit to be in fellowship with us forever.
