JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word of Encouragement is Gold.

This precious metal is used to make coins and jewelry and is highly valued. Olympians strive to win the gold medal which represents first place in a particular event.

First Peter 1:7 talks about our genuine faith as having greater worth than gold.

A genuine faith often is refined through all kinds of trials, and will result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed

Job was a man of God who suffered greatly. In the midst of his harsh trials, he acknowledged that when the Lord tested him he would come forth as gold.

God can use trials to refine our faith so that we become a shining reflection of His image.

Find encouragement in the value of faith to have greater worth than gold in the Year of Endurance.
