A trial does not bring everything to a standstill until you can quickly get past it. It’s not something to escape or a puzzle to solve. A trial is a road that leads you deeper into the heart of Christ, and he is walking with you through it. Be encouraged that Christ is right with you in your suffering.

Until Jesus returns or calls you home, you have the opportunity to lay up treasure in heaven. Delight in the Lord and obey his Word. Love your enemies. Serve those in need. Use every day wisely to invest in the life to come.
