Trials – Oswald Chambers

(I read the following quote yesterday and it reminded me of some dear friends who are being “stretched” right now. So thankful for the reminder that there is a purpose in the trials God allows and, if we respond in the right way, He will use them to prepare us for further service for Him!)

“A saint’s life is in the hands of God as a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see; He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says, I cannot stand anymore. But God does not heed; He goes on stretching until His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly.”
~ Oswald Chambers
