Following on with the thought,'We do not choose the hand of cards dealt to us', we applied it to a non-Christian,now let us apply it to Christians.We mentioned the sovereignty God,from the moment we became a Christian we died to self,and began to live unto Christ, in the path He would lead us, not a path of our choosing.On that path we would experience many things,we would have blessings but we also would experience various trials James 1 v 2. Trials by their very nature ,put us to the test, Edward Clowney writes the following,' Trials should not surprise us, or cause us to doubt God's faithfulness..... Our trials keep us trusting; they burn away our self -confidence and drive us to our Saviour, it shows the genuineness of our faith, and purifies our faith'.The trials that God brings into our lives are not meant to destroy us ,they are meant to perfect us.Whatever hand of cards God deals to us He will bring us through,I want leave the words of a Christian song with you,its called ,'God leads His dear Children along',written by George A.Young.
'In shady ,green pastures,so rich and so sweet
God leads His dear children along.
Some through the waters ,some through the flood,
Some through the fire,but all through the blood.
Some through great sorrows ,but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long
