“For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. You brought us into the net; you laid a crushing burden on our backs; you let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.” Psalm 66:10-12
This is a hard pill to swallow… but, what if God brought us into the net that we are in? What if He laid these crushing burdens on our backs? What if He let us be trampled by evil men? What if He sent us through the fire and through the water? Would a loving God allow this kind of thing?
May we praise God for the crucible of grace that transforms our burdens into blessing, our struggle into strength, our suffering into silver!

What if God is testing you, purifying you like silver? What if God is preparing to bring you out of this pit? What if God is readying you for a season of unprecedented abundance?
Do we really deserve this kind of blessing?
May we praise God for the crucible of grace that transforms our burdens into blessing, our struggle into strength, our suffering into silver!
