[:en]TRAINING FOR LIFE
The Psalmist praised God for refining the Israelites through fire and water as they suffered in slavery and exile. (Ps. 66:10-12) In the process, God purified them and brought them to a place of great abundance.
We also have to face trial. God allows these times of testing to toughen our spiritual muscles and endurance. We can rely on God for strength and perseverance for He will preserve us during the toughest moments and mold us to become more like Him. – (Leslie Koh)[:]
