1 Peter 1:6-7 GENUINENESS OF FAITH

- 1 Peter 1:6-7 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

O -Rejoice in the eternal inheritance
 
Overlook the trails and test for a little while in this world
Fire refines gold – same way trials refines faith
Trails and tests glorify God when we stand strong on the hope the Lord provides.
 
A - Today’s verses provides me with the courage and confidence to withstand any trials that may come my way. I understand that these are only testing phases that seek the genuineness of my faith and it is only to refine my faith. The glory and honour to the Lord will result when we stand strong in our faith. I am unable to see Christ now but I believe in Him and love Him. This put a glorious joy and peace in my heart. This joy is based on the end result of my faith – Salvation of my soul.
P – Father Lord, I praise your precious name. I thank you for the promises that you are giving me through these verses. Help me to stand strong in your faith and not to let any trials or tests distract me. Enable me to empty all the impurities in me so that I can filled with more of you.  Bless me to lean on to you in all situations and not on my knowledge or on anything in this world. Enable me to prove the genuineness of the faith I have in you and stand as a witness for you.
In Jesus powerful name I Pray
 
Amen
