Walking with God · Part 12 of 19

When the Fruit Gets Tested

“Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.”James 1:3 (KJV)

It is one thing to say we have learned peace, patience, or trust. It is another to live them when life becomes uncertain. Growth does not mean difficult feelings never return. It becomes visible in what we do when they come.

Jesus knew Peter would stumble, yet He saw beyond the failure and restored him. Pressure may reveal beautiful fruit or expose fruit that is still immature. Both can draw us closer when we pray, ‘Search me. Show me. Lead me.’
