"Faith by its very nature must be tested and tried. And the real trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God's character must be proven trustworthy in our own minds."
“You may pray for rain and for good harvest, in the end you must still intelligently cultivate and farm the land.”
We may not understand God's process but we can trust His heart. One day, all of our question marks will be yanked into exclamation points ... and we will get it. Until then, we walk by faith and not by sight.
Let's listen to the words of our Abba Father, let's just relax in the moment and trust God to "bring the rope to us." If it's His best for us, He will do just that.
Storms will come. Storms are a reality of life. We will either become storm survivors or storm statistics. The choice really is ours to make. We can stop telling God how big our storm is and start telling the storm just how big our God is. The key to enduring storms is to embrace each one that comes, knowing it contains and can yield a seed of victory.
Pearls are formed when a piece of grit, sand or shell get trapped inside an oyster. It protects itself from irritation by secreting a nacreous liquid around the particle which eventually builds into a pearl.
Weaknesses give way to strengths and failures lead to successes ... and God use it all for His glory and my good. In God's economy, a mess is the perfect setting for a miracle. At the center of every dark moment are a sliver of hope and a seed of victory. God has gone before you, and in every trial or difficult circumstance you will face, He has buried a treasure. When the tough times come, look for the pearls.
