My friend, today God is in your midst, ready to feed you with His life-giving Word. Psalm 66:12 reminds us that though we may be trampled upon and go through fire and water, God will bring us to a place of abundance. Why does God allow these trials? Just as the army trains ordinary young people with early wake-ups, long runs, crawling through mud, and overcoming obstacles, God allows challenges in our lives to strengthen us. These tests are not meant to punish us but to prepare us for His calling and to see if we will persevere and remain faithful even in difficult circumstances.

Life’s trials, whether in our personal walk, business, or relationships, are opportunities to demonstrate endurance, trust, and obedience to God. Many quit when faced with hardships, but those who persevere through criticism, struggles, and seemingly impossible situations are the ones God blesses. When we continue to trust Him in the fire and water, showing faith and commitment, He guides us to our calling and brings us to the abundance He has promised. Just as soldiers are prepared for service through rigorous training, our perseverance through life’s trials proves our readiness for the blessings and responsibilities God has set before us.

Today, let us decide to trust God fully, even when the path is hard and uncertain. No matter how many challenges or temptations come against us, let us run for the Lord with passion and perseverance. When we cling to Him in faith, He will strengthen us, uphold us, and bring us to the place of abundance. God wants His children to be strong, unwavering, and faithful, ready to fulfill the calling He has placed on their lives.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, Give me a heart that never gives up. Strengthen me to trust You fully through every trial. Empower me with faith and perseverance. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit to endure and overcome. Bring me, Lord, to the place of abundance where I can fulfill Your calling.
