Word from the Mission Field

“The trial of your faith…”

We all love to praise and worship God, but when it comes to “the trial of faith,” we feel that God has let us down, abandoned us, and doesn’t love us.

“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:7

In the Old Testament, Numbers 31:21-23, Eleazar the priest was talking to men that had come back from battle… They killed the men but brought back women, children, raiment, and everything. When this was brought before the priest, he commanded who should live and who should die, what to do with everything that they brought back, and how to “sanctify it,” and he said, “Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead, every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean.”

Everything has to go through the “fire.” Everything has to stand the test, but when it comes forth, it comes forth as pure gold, tried as by fire. The fire will take out any impurities so that it will shine.

Today, do not despise the trial you are going through. Jesus will be in the fire with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you, and you shall come forth with victory! Have a wonderful day! Sherry
