Beloved, don't be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you. But because you are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy. 1 Peter 4:12-14 WEB.I have a testimony I occasionally share where the Lord gave me a horrible job in a brass polishing plant. I started out sweeping the floor earning around the minimum wage in a drug-filled environment. Within a year, I was the manager. A mini-revival broke out, and everyone who worked there was saved. When I went to church, I brought an entire row of guests. The pastor loved me. I wouldn't have this testimony if I did not lose my previous job.
Unless a test comes, there is no testimony. Having a testimony, witness, and facts come from experiencing God's power in your life during hard times. These are the things you can stand on when the going gets tough. What you hear from others helps, but the things you have lived are your testimony and will help you and others in the times to come.
When you look back at what Jesus has already brought you through, you know He will also get you through this. Just as David killed the lion and the bear and was now ready for Goliath, the Lord will turn your test into a testimony. The things you currently suffer will work out for good in due time.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I know that You are with me and will bring me through whatever I face today. I pray that You have Your way in my life and draw my heart to You. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!Note: FAAD group members (Fight Against Anxiety & Depression) today is"Feel Good Friday!". This event is about lifting up each other up!
