Peter 1:9says, “that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold
that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and
honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.”

When is our faith on trial? It is when we see the
pollution and not the solution. It is when we experience adversity or
difficulties in our lives. When our faith goes on trial, we want to be found
guilty of having some faith in our possession.

When the enemy comes in like a flood (Is.
59:19) it is report card time for our faith. If we fall apart like a
two-dollar suitcase, we flunk, and have to take the test over.

Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith…

When our faith is on trial, we want to go to God’s
promises and fight the good fight of faith.

Psalm
34:11will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in
my mouth.

We want to praise God anyway and thank him for all
the times he has blessed us.
