Dear Friends,
I hope you had a blessed, Christ centered week.
This devot. is on praying that God will increase our faith.
In order for this to happen, sometimes God has to take us
through trials and tests in order for that to be accomplished.
Just as an oak tree gains deeper roots and the strength to withstand future storms through rain and ice storms, and harsh winds, so God must send us through storms to dig our spiritual roots deeper, rely more upon Him, develop our personal relationship with Him.
"The meaning of trial is not only to test worthiness, but to increase it; as the oak is not only tested by the storms, but toughened by them." (Streams in the Desert, Mrs. Charles E. Cowman, Page 232) (Scripture Link, Devot. below)
