Gods tests in life strengthen us

 

As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭27‬:‭17‬ NIV)

I have wondered in the past why certain people have been put in my path some good some bad, the unlimited truth is God had this as part of his plan the whole time and these people and circumstances were there to shape me into who I am now and ultimately who I will be in the future. These little tests, trials and tribulations are Gods way of moulding me into who He wants, and this is true for you as well.

For each experience both good and bad and each person put in our path we will learn a lesson. We should allow ourselves to be moulded into who God wants us to be. It won’t always be easy or fun but we should accept what God wants with a happy heart and grow as He wants
Let’s pray this today,
Father thank you for the work you have already done in me, I pray that you continue to mould me into the person you want me to be. Give me the knowledge and wisdom to learn from the lessons you provide and give me the strength to stand up and defend your word as and when the need arises. Father use me as you require
