Faith is to believe. God often uses harsh and besetting situations to perfect his believers. Therefore, they must learn how to draw upon grace to tackle the adversities appropriately and also be on guard against Satan seizing the occasion to tempt one to murmur against God. Let us be glad to accept trials and through them, to ceaselessly pursue after spiritual growth, to forsake hidden sins, to live a holy life, to despised worldly enjoyment, to be happy to be nearer to the Lord, to learn obedience, to fear and not slight, to exalt the Lord in all things, to be not self assertive, to trust earnestly that the trials portioned by God, no matter how onerous, are meant to good and be profitable. Never doubting that God is a God that dispenses grace and everything brings forth his goodness. Trial is like burning fire that purifies gold. Whatever nuggets that have not gone through purifying, will never become precious refined gold. It�s most unfortunate that quite a few believers, due to their lack of understanding concerning ha work of God�s goodness, murmur angrily against God during hardship, even to stumble and renounce God. Someone ever said, "All those fit for God�s use and vessels that are to be glorified in the future, must have underground rails and difficulties to be perfected, whereas, comfortable and fine living often causes believers to be spiritually stagnated and not progressing.
