Whenever we go through a trial we can allow it to weaken us or make us stronger. I pray that the storms that I go through make me stronger. This applies, not only to me as an individual but also to the church as a whole. If a church goes through a storm, the people need to be united and of one mind; focused on Jesus Christ. The bible tells us in Romans 5, that since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God; that we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand and that we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. And then it goes on to say in Romans 5:3-5 Not only so, but we rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope and hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
We need to stay focused on Jesus Christ so that we will be yet, even stronger, as we emerge from our storms.
