“And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”         1 Peter 5:10 NIV

 

A good reporter asks six basic questions when investigating a story: Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How? About growing faith, we already know the answer to some of those questions. Our Lord builds our trust anywhere and anytime. Faith trials draw our attention to Him. Sometimes worldly pursuits coax us to drift away from Jesus. If we encounter a situation for which we have no solution, our wandering focus snaps back to Him as we begin to pray and look for a way out of the trial. Faith trials, also teach endurance. We develop the stamina to bear up under heavy loads without discouragement because we trust that our Lord will see us through. He increases our capacity by applying slight pressure. When we prove we can handle a little, He adds more, constantly working on our witness till we shine like gold. This trains us for higher service. We must endure and keep our attention on Him so that we are prepared to work anywhere in His kingdom. He designs opportunities for every believer, shifting us to greater areas of service as we grow in faith. Our faith trials glorify the Lord. The greatest praise we can give to our heavenly Father is to walk hopefully through a dark valley. We are a living example of His faithfulness and trustworthiness for everyone to see. As our faith increases, others witness the reality of Jesus in our lives. We also benefit personally by having greater confidence and anticipation of His blessing.
