When the Smoke Clears You’ll be Stronger on the Other Side

The fire you’re walking through is not here to destroy you, it’s shaping you. What feels like breaking is actually building something stronger within you.

 Bible Verse:
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1:2–4

 When everything around us seems disorderly, jumbled up, and chaotic, remember what you are going through is building something within you. Trials are not an interruption, they are part of God’s process. Perseverance, tenacity and endurance is developed in difficulty, not ease. Every point of opposition, challenge or hostility you face is strengthening your character and deepening your faith. Even though we cannot see it now, when you get to the other side of this season, you will be stronger, wiser, and more grounded in Christ. Don’t give up in the middle of the process, God is not finished with you yet.

Thought to Ponder:
Hold on, God is working, even when you can’t see it.

Journaling Prompt:
How has a past trial made your faith stronger?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, give me the strength I need to endure, persist, and never stop . Please help me if my trust fades, especially when You are building something greater in me. In Jesus Name Amen
