Trials can work for you not against you.

Faith-Driven Founders, when you trust God, trials work for you not against you.

But you must learn how to become 100% yielded to God.

Because if your heart and mind are divided, trials will rip you apart.

Friends, trials prepare us for blessing. 

Over the years I’ve learned that I must do the Word, not just read it or study it, the blessing is in the doing. Understand, God’s goal is your spiritual maturity. 

His assignments are not for spiritual babies. If you have resisted growing up in your faith, battle will wake you up, and grow you up.

If God is shaking things in your life, listen to His Word. You’ll discover the things that cannot be shaken, and you will run the race to the end.

Faith in God gives you the ability to endure when others are giving up. When you truly practice your faith, it will be seen in how you face trials.

… not forgetting what they have heard but doing it, they will be blessed in what they do. (James 1:23)

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial. 

So if you want the Rolex, you’ll have to first learn to be a Timex.
