School of Trials
1 Peter 4:12-13 (GOD’S WORD Translation) Share Christ’s Sufferings  12Dear friends, don’t be surprised by the fiery troubles that are coming in order to test you. Don’t feel as though something strange is happening to you, 13but be happy as you share Christ’s sufferings. Then you will also be full of joy when he appears again in his glory.
 
When you are facing a trial in your life are you also counting it all joy? Just as a young tree that has just been planted our roots are not very deep until we have matured. A young tree needs to be watered, staked in order to grow straight and pruned to keep branches from crossing or becoming to heavy right away. We also need to be watched and then sprayed for bugs that may be harmful to our leaves.
We will face some strong winds that will blow and can either break us or bend us over, but once we are grounded and rooted in the earth (by God's Word), then we can face those winds without the stakes, as our trunk has been strengthen.
The wind, the sun, the rain, the scourching heat, the cold weather, wet, dryness, they are ... more
