This is one of the many great promises of God to us. We have to lengthen our faith and keep our trust in Him because nothing is impossible to Him. Trial can also be a blessing... because when we encounter this, we draw closer to God.
But how can we hold on to Him when it seems that everything is passing away? How can we continue to live on even if we think that there is no reason for us to live by? How can we overcome this hard test of God?
Have faith!
God did not allow us to suffer this kind of pain if we are not able to endure it. God knows how strong we are that even huge storm cannot make us not to draw close to Him.
During times of Noah, God said to him that he must warn the people to bring back to God or else they will die because of a huge storm. God told him to build a large boat for his family to live because He will send a huge storm to destroy the Earth. Because of Noah's faith in God, he built the ark even if people around him kept on mocking and making fun of him. The huge storm started. It lasted for forty days and forty nights. Because of Noah's faith, he and his family lived. All the people living on Earth, even plants and animals died because of the tremendous flood. Because of Noah's faith he experienced the blessings that even from his wildest dreams never existed. Because of Noah's faith he became closer and closer to God.
During times of tests, especially while suffering from the pain, we must remember that this is not a trial... but this is a "big" blessing from God. I know it's hard to think what I want to point out but this is great encouragement for everyone of us..
Trial is a blessing.
"Your faith will be like gold that has been tested in a fire. And these trials will prove that your faith is worth much more than gold that can be destroyed. They will show that you will be given praise and honor and glory when Jesus Christ returns." I Peter 1:6-7
God bless us all! ^_^
