Joseph thrown into a pit We get troubles, temptations, trials, problems, in order to lead us to more Glory God made Joseph a ruler of Egypt 18 to the route of more glory. We become God’s most trusted believer. God tests only believers so that their faith will increase step by step and that is the only reason for the delay. Our faith is much more precious than Gold. And our temptation is only a test. We do not get trials because we have sinned or made a mistake. No! It is a test because we are believers. A giant faith person gets a giant faith problem. The size of our problem defines our destiny. David had to fight Goliath first and then directly, he went to the throne. If we face a big problem, a high praise will come from us. When we encounter a problem, we should not fear. For, we will get praise, honour and glory when we face problems. Nobody likes to experience trouble and pain. But if we go through them patiently, we will be crowned with praise, honour and glory. So, we should, “ Hold onto our faith”. Our faith will not put us down, fail us or drown us, but it will make us overcome. We have to believe our God continually and go forward.” Our God is a faithful God”. II Corinthians 4 : 18 Says, While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. We should not look at the intolerable situations which are depressing us, but look at the eternal praise, honour and glory. By faith we should see the things which are not seen. And we can get faith only by listening to the Word of God.If we are looking at our troubles only, we start calculating the time and get impatient for our healing and blessing. But when we see the invisible, then the troubles decrease and appear to be only for a minute. When we do not look at the visible trouble, but by word look at the invisible which is about to happen, then the trouble appears to be only for a fraction and we get eternal glory. Hallelujah!
