1 Peter 1:7 These (trials) have come so that your faith–of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire–may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Some say trials come to make us strong. That statement is not totally true without our personal efforts. There are plenty of people who go through trials, and some who  keep continuously getting beat up by the same trial, and never learn nor get strong. As believers, we have a choice to use our trials to make us strong. It all depends on the amount of effort we put in during that trial.

For example, if the enemy attacks our family, we have a choice to complain or whine about what is happening in our family. Or, we can become strong in our trial by building our faith. We build our faith in this area by researching scriptures related to a prosperous family, rebuking the enemy from our family, or getting spiritual guidance during these times. That way, the next time the enemy attempts to attack our family, we are strong enough to endure the battle of faith and defeat the enemy.

See the benefits of growth and development during that trial and really become strong. Do Work!!!
