YOUR TRIALS AND YOUR CAPACITY

2Corinthians 4:16-17, Romans 8:28

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; *And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

As you overcome trials, your capacity grows. When you have a godly perspective of your trials, your attitude towards your trials changes. You rejoice and embrace them, because you know they are increasing your capacity and preparing and positioning you for great increase.

“My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience
greatest joy that you can! For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up power within you to endure all things. And then as your endurance grows even stronger it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking,” (James 1:2-4, TPT). Paul said he gloried (rejoiced) in tribulations because they developed his patience, gave him experience and filled him with hope, (Rom.5:3-4). Jesus was perfected and He learned obedience through His sufferings, (Heb.2:10, Heb.5:8).

Your trials purify your faith just like fire purifies gold and makes it more valuable, (1Pet.1:7). Everything Joseph went through helped to increase his capacity for the increase in influence God had in store for him. “But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew…” (Exo.1:12a). God will promote you in the midst of that trial.

Prayer:
I thank you Heavenly Father that as I face and overcome my trials, you are promoting me and increasing my capacity.
