DAILY DEVOTION
Seasons of Testing
You have tested us, O God; you have purified us like silver.
Psalm 66:10, NLT
We all go through seasons of testing, seasons of proving, seasons when we don’t understand why we’re going through difficulties. It’s easy to get discouraged and slack off, but you need to keep being your best. How you respond to difficulties shows what your character is. It shows what you’re capable of handling and how much God can trust you with. It shows how much influence you can carry, how much responsibility He can give you. What you do in the tough times will determine how high you rise.
On the way to your destiny, don’t be surprised if there are people who lie about you, who try to get you to compromise, who are jealous of you at work and play politics. The bad breaks, betrayals, delays, and disappointments are all a part of God’s plan to grow your character and purify your heart. How you handle these times will determine whether you prosper where you are or get stuck. God may not deliver you out of every test on your timetable, but He’ll cause you to flourish at every step of the way.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that You are always working in my life to shape my character and prepare me for the next level You have for me. Thank You for the seasons of testing when You prove my faithfulness. I believe You are taking me higher to be used for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
