Life often brings storms that test our faith. Think of Job—he lost wealth, health, and even the support of friends, yet he held onto his trust in God. In the end, Job’s faith was strengthened, and his life was restored beyond measure.

Trials are not pleasant, but they are purposeful. God uses them to refine us, shape our character, and teach us endurance. Just as gold is purified in the fire, our faith grows stronger when tested.

When difficulties come, instead of asking, “Why me?” we can ask, “Lord, what are You building in me through this?” Standing firm does not mean pretending the trial isn’t painful—it means clinging to God’s promises even when circumstances don’t make sense.
