Trials are a Part of Our Testimonies

"Then Moses told his father-in-law all that the LORD had done... All the hardship that had come upon them in the way, and how the LORD had delivered them" (Exodus 18:9)

How easy it is to ask God "why?" when we face challenges in our journey and lose sight of the fact that "all things" work out for a better purpose! God truly is "Mighty to Save," but do not forget that the prerequisite to be saved, delivered or rescued is to be in grave danger. Great heroes of faith like Paul learned this lesson so deeply that he actually learned to embrace difficulties! (2 Cor 12:10) The father-in-law of Moses learned all the challenges Israel faced and how God was "Mighty to Save" and it moved Jethro himself to "Bless the LORD!" Take courage! God is mighty to save, to bring you through for your benefit and also for the benefit of others becuase trials are what make up our testimonies.
