Morning Line: Twists, Turns and Bumps
1 Peter 1:6-7 (NRSVCE)” In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, 7 so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. “
It is impossible to tell by looking at a person how much faith they have. Compare your faith to a bucket of water; you only discover how much is inside when somebody bumps it. Likewise, when life bumps you, you spill out what you are full of fear or faith? Maybe you’ve received bad news What splashed over the side? Dreading the worst or trusting God for the best? People can’t tell by looking at you how much faith you have, but they can tell by listening to you. In life, bumps are going to happen. You will be tested. The test doesn’t just to reveal your faith, but can refine it. God doesn’t test your faith in order to know how much you have, He already knows. Stop and consider the hardest thing that’s going on in your life, then ask, ‘Is this situation decreasing my faith or increasing it?’ The Bible says: ‘These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.’ 1 Peter 1:7 and remember “what, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us” Romans 8: 31
