1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
The Trial by Fire
There are all kinds of difficulties to endure in life
like roadblocks and hurdles to cross.
But there's a trial by fire that goes beyond common problems
but to pass it is worth all the costs.
This is the trial where the issues of faith
are tested like never before,
Where the heart has to believe what God says is true
despite the heartache that lands at our door.
And this trial by fire teaches us to pray harder
and to pray with intensity each day;
To believe God is faithful through the silence we hear
and that He's listening to us as we pray.
The trial by fire is an uncomfortable place
God will allow us to be for the good.
For there in that place comes the wisdom of heaven
that we once might have not understood.
And there we truly learn what it means to persevere
finding ourselves stronger than we ever knew.
For God sustains us & strengthens us for the mission at hand
and every hard day that we're going through.
We become a different person through the testing and pain
with the will of God as our growing desire.
More humble...more tender...much stronger and wiser
are our gifts from the trial by fire.
