Tag: Bible verses about going through trials and tribulations

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-25-20

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-3-18

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NKJV) 11 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Today may be a hard day for you to face.

Maybe you lost someone dear to you. Maybe your job is at stake. Maybe your finances are in trouble. Maybe your child is sick. You may be facing a huge battle on a personal level.

Whatever this day brings your way, if you look to God for your answer, and you wait on Him to provide for you and bring it to fruition, you will make it through this.

You will look back and know that God did it.

Don’t be deceived into thinking that there is no other choice, that this is it. There is more to this life for you.

Believe today, you will not faint. Your situation will change and the personal battle that you face will come to an end. Follow His leading. He is faithful to deliver.

Be comforted and edified today. Our Redeemer lives.

Job 19:25 (NKJV) 25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth…

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-19-18

James 1:2-3 (NKJV) 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 

One of the things that many of us do when we’re going through trials is to ask God to remove the trial. We all do this from time to time. 

And while it is understandable that we would ask for this, it’s important that we understand what we’re asking for. 

Nobody likes trials. They hurt. They wear us out. They leave scars. 

But during those times of trial there are so many things we can learn! And during those trying times, God can teach us so many things if we will just allow Him to. 

God can use the bad things that happen and bring good out of them. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that He removes the trial or turns the bad thing into something good. He just teaches us lessons as we walk through them. 

So, whatever trial we might be facing right now, instead of doing what we always do and just asking God to bring the trial to a sudden end, let’s ask God what it is that we can learn from it as we walk through it. 

And while we’re learning, we can watch God move on our behalf.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-20-15

James 1:2-9 (NKJV) 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Life can be harsh at times. Sometimes the things we go through are a direct result of choices we have made in the past. But other times we get dealt things that we just plain don’t understand.

Nobody likes trials and tough times. They stretch us and can be very painful, to say the least.

When things are tough, we get to see what we’re made of. We get to see if our faith is as strong as we think it is.

It can be pretty hard sometimes to count suffering as joy. It’s usually much easier to complain and ask why.

But we know from our own personal experiences, that even though we don’t like trials, they do cause us to change. And if we keep our eyes on God, and our faith in Him, those changes are for the better.

No, we don’t always have answers for the things we go through. But we know that somehow, and in some way, we will grow from them and God can use us later on to help others who might be going through something similar.
