They’re finally easing the rules, but in some ways it’s even more aggravating than before. Some are still waiting for their unemployment to be approved. Waiting in line just to get into the store only to find there are still shortages of some items and prices are rising on others. Sometimes we find ourselves wondering when this will ever truly end!

The first century church was facing bigger trials than we’re seeing today. Oppression, poverty and persecution by the Romans with no end in sight.

The Apostle Peter reminded the believers about the purpose of such trials, “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” (1st Peter 1:6-7)

We can see that we still have a way to go before life is back to normal, but we should remember that these are the kind of trials that will prove our faith and relationship with God.
