1 Peter 1:6-7
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:Why is it that we need to be in manifold temptations? The answer to that question is found in verse seven above, so that our faith can grow through trials. Untried faith may be true faith, but it will be little faith as well to quote an old preacher. Faith only grows as it is tried and we pass the test. Ever look at a sail boat on the water when there is no wind? It just set there, getting no place, doing nothing. But as the wind picks up the boat begins to move, the stronger the wind the faster it goes. Don’t let the storms of life get you down, let them make your faith stronger and get you moving for the Lord.
