Trial by god

Pretty nifty indeed. To deliver justice, however, the court needs to do more than simply learn that an innocent defendant is innocent — it needs to find him so.

For whatever reason, the idea of a superhero flying around in a cape and tights does not present an intellectual stumbling block for me. I do, however, find it hard to believe that nobody recognizes Clark Kent as Superman merely because he wears reading glasses! It is my premise that perhaps the greatest power to change our lives exists in the form of trials that God graciously sends to us to bring about character transformation.

It is also my contention that most Christians would endure such trials, if they only knew they were in one. The problem is that trials are much like Clark Kent. For some reason, we seem unable to identify when we are in one, and as a result, run from the trial rather then embrace it and the growth it brings. I believe that often trials come into our lives in four thinly veiled disguises that can prevent us from recognizing and embracing their transforming superpower.

If a group of militant atheists were to come into your room and tie you up and threaten you with death if you failed to renounce your faith, I think you would realize that you were in a trial. Often they are typical day-to-day struggles with circumstances, relationships, ill health, or some area of lacking or inability in our own lives.

If you find yourself in some difficult or constraining circumstances that are a source of struggle for you, consider yourself in a trial; it is therefore not random it was allowed by God and can work for good in your spiritual growth. Most trials seem on the surface to present themselves to us as obstacles that prevent us from living a godly life.

Trials are not actually obstacles though they often feel that way , but are the fuel for getting to our goals. Often, as Christians, when we pray for greater holiness, we find the world caving in around us. Our reactions can make us feel more ungodly than ever.

It is critical to see that, while these trials might provide momentary set-backs to our visible progress in the faith, they are ultimately providing the fuel we need to get to our destination. They build into our lives passion, perseverance, and deeper character change that go far beyond the surface behavior change we were trying to manifest in our lives.

Often God answers our prayer for greater holiness, not by providing better circumstances that help us perform better, but by providing trials. The verse discloses that there is design and intent behind the trial.

God has looked at your life and decided that it was, in fact, necessary for you to go through a trial for the sake of spiritual growth. Often Christians fail to persevere in trials, because they begin to believe that they are simply random happenstance, and therefore have no point or benefit. The impotence trials of prerevolutionary France sound a bit like a political joke.

France had mostly squelched the ability for couples to divorce, and it was in the wake of this that the impotence Hercules had to complete twelve arduous labors as retribution for killing his wife and kids in a divinely-induced rage.
