Hebrews 12:10 Amplified says, “…He disciplines us for our certain good, that we may become sharers in His own holiness.” 2 Peter 1:3 it says, “As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.”

1 Thessalonians 5:24 says, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” Herein is our power to do all that the Lord has called us to do. 2 Timothy 1:9 says, “Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.”

As we abide in His word, it deepens our intimate communion with Him. He knows our hearts. He knows our thoughts before we think them. Therefore His way’s draw out the hidden dross-alloy that weakens our faith. Through His divinely orchestrated trials, He wisely designs the fiery trials that will purify and strengthen our walk with Him.
