I have been thinking about what trials can reveal about us. I am finding out that they reveal just how many things and people we can use to prop us up in life. Trials tend to show just how much we are or are not trusting God on a regular basis. If we are using any thing other than God to prop us up, trials tend to knock those daily props out from under us and we fall flat on our faces. If we are regularly relying on God to prop us up then when the trials come our peace and contentment will still remain.

Di,
This was great! I liked how you phrased it as "props." Trials certaintly do show us what we are using to "prop" ourselves up. Too many times I find that it is not God. Even though I don't technically want trials, I am grateful for God using them in such ways as showing me that I have not been depending on Him or finding my fulfillment in Him. Thanks Padi!
