God will perfectly match his grace to our every trial. It is never the case that some trial can come upon us for which no help is available. In the third place we must get past thinking of trials as strange and therefore surprising. Trials are no more strange to people of faith than fire is strange in a smelter. Fire is always found in a smelter just because fire is needed to refine precious metals and rid them of worthless substances.
Trial refines faith and rids it of worthless accretions.
Because trials are essential if our faith is to become stronger, more useful and more attractive, then trials are necessary , not strange or surprising. In the fourth place, trials always serve to distinguish genuine faith from mere verbal repetition. In certain contexts it's easy to parrot the correct Christian words. When times are good, when the room is full of church people, when the universe is unfolding as we think it should, it's easy to speak religiously. But when trials occur genuine faith is quickly distinguished from mere verbal repetition.
