This is from my morning devotions with Charles
Spurgeon and comments by me.
1 Peter 1:7 KJV
That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Faith that hasn’t been tested may be real faith, but it’s likely to be small and will probably remain weak without trials. Faith grows best when it faces opposition. Storms are its trainers, and lightning is its light. When the sea is calm, no matter how you set the sails, the ship doesn’t move toward its harbor; the keel rests in the still waters. But when the winds blow and the waves rise, even though the ship may rock, the deck may be awash with water, and the mast may groan under the strain of full sails, it is then that progress is made toward the desired destination!
No flowers bloom so beautifully blue as those that grow at the base of a glacier; no stars shine as brightly as those in the polar sky; no water tastes as sweet as that which springs from the desert sands; and no faith is as precious as the faith that thrives and triumphs in adversity.
Tested faith brings experience. You wouldn’t know your own weakness if you hadn’t been forced to pass through deep waters, and you wouldn’t know God’s strength if He hadn’t supported you through the floods.
Faith grows in firmness, confidence, and intensity the more it is exercised in tribulation. Faith is valuable, and the testing of it is valuable too. But don’t let this discourage those who are young in faith. You will face trials soon enough without seeking them—the full measure will come to you in due time. Meanwhile, if you don’t yet have the experience that comes from long trials, thank God for the grace you’ve received so far. Praise Him for the holy confidence you’ve attained, live by that faith, and you will experience even more of God’s blessing!
My comments
I agree with this scripture 100% because me and my wife have been through nothing but trouble since we were married, and with Christ centered in both of our lives and my wife's strong faith and my semi strong faith, together with Christ Jesus, the out come has been more amazing. Our love has blossemed into the most beautiful and precious part of my life and my faith has increased beyond the measures of my expectations. So I give Christ Jesus all the glory and praise that is dew Him.
My prayer
Dear Lord i give you all the praise for the miracle that you have worked in our marriage you have grown my faith more then I could have ever imagined. Amen
