The trials are to measure our faith

* Luís Alberto Alves

The 21-century Christians accept not face struggles. Hate trials. They are wrong with God when crossing storm or tsunami. In their opinion, Jesus Christ must work like lightning rods, avoiding any kind of difficulty. Everything must seem a piece of cake and honey.

Adopt typical behavior of babies. If they innervate when thwarted. The world needs to serve them. Only valid military in the army of the Lord, if any victories. Otherwise it is better to stay in the world. They never work for the Kingdom of God. Just spend time criticizing, saying that Jesus is wrong.

These are people who have not grown spiritually to understand the motives of the trials, the struggles against evil. It is through these clashes are occurring spiritual growth. The Christian is increasingly gaining the armor of the Lord to face the evil day.

We should never interpret the trials as God abandoning us. It does not prevent us we will not fall into the den of lions, but will be with us in there preventing us to be devoured. Only trials produce faith. The quiet sometimes serves for the Christian let the Lord's side.
