testing

1 Peter 1:6 (NLT) So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead,

       even though it is necessary for you to endure many trials for a while.


7 These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong & pure.

It is being tested as fire tests & purifies gold...

        & your faith is more precious to God than mere gold.



Who's this for this morning besides me?



Here it is from The Message...

"I know how great this makes you feel, even though you have to put up with every kind of aggravation in the meantime.

"Pure gold put in the fire comes out of it proved pure; genuine faith put through this suffering comes out proved genuine.

"When Jesus wraps this all up, it's your faith, not your gold, that God will have on display as evidence of his victory."
