Why Does God Allow Trials To Blow Across Our Lives?

Same old is comfortable. Same old is familiar. Same old is easy. But....Same old doesn't challenge us. Same old doesn't change us. Same old doesn't prepare us for the greater things ahead. Same old doesn't grow us in our spiritual walk with the Lord. Same old, doesn't bless us.

I believe God allows trials in our lives to bless us. Pain means we are being loved by God enough that He is pruning us to bear fruit. We, as believers, need to recognize God's pruning as being helpful, not painful. Life is too short to miss out on God's wonderful opportunities and blessings. Life is too short to go through trials and come out empty!

Thankful For Discernment

Sometimes God places us in bad situations to show us what's most important. A lot of times, satan will use our closest friends to deceive us and pull us away from God. Because sometimes we're more concerned about what matters to us than what matters to Jesus. 

We are doing a six week study at church called, ONE. This series is about marriage from a biblical perspective and also what to look for in a perspective spouse if you are not married. We just completed our second week in this series and it's awesome! 

I am tremendously thankful for God's protection upon our family over a recent situation. 

We are to hold one another accountable when it comes to relationships that may damage our walk with Christ. 

A humble heart longs to do whatever brings honor to God, regardless of whether anyone is watching. 

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light. Ephesians 5: 6-8
