Do you love samples? I often think a sample is a great way to try something without committing to a big purchase. It is a test of sorts that allows me to see how it feels, to check out how something works.

God allows trials in our lives. It says so in 1 Peter 1:7

1 Peter 1:7 — GOD’S WORD Translation

^” The purpose of these troubles is to test your faith as fire tests how genuine gold is. Your faith is more precious than gold, and by passing the test, it gives praise, glory, and honor to God. This will happen when Jesus Christ appears again. “

Hard times or seasons of dysfunction and pain are a sample to “try” to see how you might bear up when something even bigger comes.

It is believed by some that when going through a trial, one’s whole being endures the test of strength, patience and faith–faith that God’s got this!

It’s not easy to go through a trial. It is much easier to sample a product rather than sample life.

However, as we endure our tests and trials, God is ever faithful to our needs.

^” You keep track of all my sorrows.
    You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
    You have recorded each one in your book.”

Psalm 56:8

THANKS BE TO GOD!
