16. You Want Me To Do What? |Ephes 5:22-24 - a podcast by The Epic Life - Bob Hallman

Praise God we have something to look forward to. God has a kingdom for us, he's got promised for us, he's got an inheritance for us, he's got a hope for us, he's got Christ for us. NONE of that can be diminished, can't go down with the stock market, it can't disappear with our economic crisis or our debt load as a country, It's untouchable in the Kingdom of Heaven.

The scripture goes on to say "6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. "

What a great perspective... a perspective that every Christian man and woman should have, is that our problems are our friends because they refine us. They skim the dross off our lives. They reveal what's really in our heart : the faith that we've got, the confidence that we've got in God and His Word. He's building us and strengthening us through these trials. Peter says we are actually able to rejoice in these things because the are producing somethings in us that can't come any other way.
