When tested

“For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.”
(Psalm 66:10 ESV)

Testing Produces Steadfastness

God can use testing to strengthen and refine your faith.

“For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” (James 1:3 ESV)

“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life.” (James 1:12 ESV)

You Can Come Out as Gold

“But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me, I shall come out as gold.”
(Job 23:10 ESV)

Therefore

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” (James 1:2-3 ESV)

When your faith is tested, don’t give up. Trust God to use the test to strengthen, refine, and mature you.
