Genuineness of your faith.

Life is not a series of random events. God knows what’s going on in every detail. Now, this doesn’t mean that everything that happens in your life is God’s will.

God weaves various ventures into our lives. Some happy, some sad, some very difficult to get through. He does this in order to shape our character, hopefully to mold our character to be more like Him.

1 Peter 1:7 - “so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

God may permit things to happen in your life, but rest assured, He will use it for good.

As Rick Warren (one of my favorite pastors) wrote, “God loves to turn crucifixions into resurrections.”

I had a trying season a few years ago that I did not understand at the time. I now know that God used this adversity to get me to where I am today. From that trial, He gave me the confidence I needed to write a book.

God found my faith genuine. He tested me and I stuck with Him, trusting Him all along the way.

I’ll never stop believing in God’s promises and will praise Him through the storms of life.

Are you genuine in your faith in God?
