BIBLE MEDITATION: “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.” 1 Peter 4:12-13
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Andrew Murray said, “Every child of God must at one time or another enter the school of trial.” And the Scriptures teach us that we are to count it a joy when God takes us into this school. Just as there is no profit in the grounds being made wet by rain or broken up by the plough, when no seed is cast into it, so are children of God who enter into trial and have little blessing from it. The heart is softened for a time, but they know not how to obtain an abiding blessing from it. They know not what the Father has in view since they are in the school of trial.
ACTION POINT: Are you in the middle of a trial? Trust that the Lord will bring blessing as you trust in Him with all your heart.
