Hebrews 12:8 (NKJV) 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
The hardest part about facing a trial is to make sure we don’t try to get out of it too quickly.
That might sound odd, but most times there is something in that trial for us to learn. There is something for us to see, and there is something for us to hear.
We need to let what we learn become embedded in our hearts so we don’t ever forget it.
Imagine going through a trial and we just say, “take your time Lord. We want to learn whatever it is that we need to learn so we don’t have to visit this place again”.
We are God’s children, sons and daughters of the most High! He is a good Papa and good Papas will train up their children to be strong, to not faint, and to rise above any given situation that we may face.
If you’re facing a trial, wait on God. He will show up. He will show us if there is something in it we may need to see and something that we need to do.
Be watching, listening, and seeking Him. He is going to teach us how to walk out of hard places and hard times.
Remember, if we are His sons and daughters, there is always a time to learn and a time to apply what we learn. It is the way He does it.
Keep learning and growing closer to Him, and enjoy the journey from either side. We shall walk and not faint, we shall mount up with wings like eagles as we receive His correction and the strength to walk it out.
Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
Don’t give up when it gets hard. Wait on His strength. It will come and bring us through! Amen.
