Exercise It

From: Ambassadors For Christ International - John North

1 Peter 3:7 "...so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may prove to be for praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."

If you want to strengthen your faith, exercise it! "Use it or lose it!"

When someone wants to build muscle, they know it doesn’t happen all at once. They don’t go into the gym on Thursday evening at 7pm and come out at 8pm bulging with muscles. No, they know that it’ll be a long steady process of exercise that makes them strong.

In the same way, God’s letting you know that He allows annoyances, difficulties and trials along life’s road to gradually strengthen your faith. When difficulties come along, don’t view them as obstacles to your faith, but rather as opportunities from God for you to trust Him and grow.
