Pastor Patrick Steele talks about the christian growth process and it’s link to the trials of this life.

After all of the blessings, and all of the good things he’s done for me… I still find myself back in the place where I’ll be asking if God is really good in this situation or not. Why? Because I’ve been stretched beyond where I was before. I’ve been stretched to the edge of my faith. I’ve been stretched to the end of my capacity to endure it on my own, to the point where I have to come to a place, at the very end where I’m just about to snap, where I learn to trust in God, and not in myself. Patrick Steele

Thirsty

What would you do if you’d lost everything? And you’re there, disgraced, and shamed, and you’ve lost all of the benefits that you’ve worked for all of your life? What would you cry out for? What would you be asking for? Even though David had once had everything, and he’s now lost everything, David cries out, not God give me back all of these creature comforts that I’ve amassed to myself, and all of the dignity and pomp and splendor of being king, but God, give me more of you. In your trial, in your difficulty, in your desert space, is that what you cry?
