Faith is tested by the fire of adversity!

NIV James 1:3 Because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Endurance sometimes leads to sufferings, coz we may need to compromise or sacrifice some of the things that we cherish. It is God's will for us to grow in faith and build a strong relationship with Him, and He will purify and strengthen our faith by a process like refining silvers and golds.

NIV James 1:3 Because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. James taught us that God uses the fire of adversity to remove the impurities in us and after that, we will be refined with strong faith. When we struggle to have God's confirmation on our prayer request, remember that wait for Him patiently is one of His answers and we are all equipped with perseverance during sufferings.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your teaching on faith and suffering. Strengthen our faith by sanctification through tests and be patient while waiting for your blessing to come. We prayed in Jesus' victorious Name, Amen!
