When God Uses Trials to Strengthen Your Faithfulness

“But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.” – Psalm 59:16

I had grown up going to all the faith based things; church, Sunday school, youth group, mission trips, etc. I could sing along to the praise songs with the best of them, but it wasn’t until that season of life that my faith really started to take shape and grow in my adult life.

The devil was fighting hard to convince me the lies I had been told. I was in the deepest and darkest valley of my life, and it would’ve been so easy to wander even further away, but something told me that was the exact time I needed to run back as fast as I could!

Three years later, and gosh am I glad I did! While I’m not allowed to fully share about God’s faithfulness in my life (maybe someday I’ll be able to), I’ll never stop talking about it.

These have been the ultimate tests of my trust in God and who I know he is; a God that is faithful to complete what he has started in my life, one that will never leave or forsake me, one who is in all of my tomorrows.

While I’m not quite out of the valley yet, I’m not as far down as I used to be, and things don’t seem nearly as dark anymore.

I will always be grateful for the things in my life that pushed me back to God and his plan for my life!
