Trials Are Divinely Orchestrated

I memorized Psalm 66. For me it takes saying the phrases in a verse over and over until it finally grooves into my brain. As I came to verses 10-12, I realized afresh at how strategically the Lord orchestrates every part of our trials.

It says, “For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined. You brought us into the net; You laid affliction on our backs. You have caused men to ride over our hears; we went through fire and through water; but You brought us out to rich fulfillment.” Do you see how detailed His orchestration is through these verses?

Our role in a trial is to endure through trust ~ resulting in fruit that will glorify Him. No matter what takes place, He is intimately acquainted with every moment. It has first come through His hands. As Psalm 85:13 says, “Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make His footsteps our pathway.”
