GOD'S MINISTRY OF DARKNESS

Peter wrote, "Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing; so that also at the revelation of His glory, you may rejoice with exultation" (1 Peter 4:12, 13).

In God's ministry of testing, we learn a lot about ourselves. Whatever is left of simplistic advice such as "Read your Bible" or "Just work harder" or "Pray more" gets stripped away. Why is that Most people going through testing times would love to resolve the crisis, but they seemingly can't and don't know why.



Does everyone have a special Bible verse ~



When doing God’s ministry we learn compassion ~ we learn to wait patiently ~ learn to respond to the needs of others ~ weep with those who weep ~ and don’t try to teach or advise

you heard the saying ~ “No pain, no gain” ~



Every great period of personal growth has been preceded by a major time of

Testing.



Prayer: Lord, I submit to Your testing so I may come to the end of my resources and joyfully discover Yours.
