Turning Trials into Stepping Stones: God Works All Things for Good
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28 (KJV)
No one enjoys trials. Loss, delay, and disappointment can hurt deeply. But the Bible shows us that God can use even our hardest days for our good.
Michelle Lee often shares this truth: trials come to make us more like Christ. Every struggle can become a stepping stone to a higher place of growth, promotion, and freedom.
God wastes nothing
Romans 8:28 does not say every thing is good. It says God works all things together for good for those who love Him. Like a master builder, He can take broken pieces and build something beautiful.
What trials can build in you
- Patience that does not give up (James 1:3–4).
- Compassion to comfort others (2 Corinthians 1:4).
- Faith that is stronger than gold (1 Peter 1:7).
- Character that looks more like Jesus.
Take the next step
When you face a trial today, ask a new question. Instead of only asking, “Why is this happening?” also ask, “Lord, what do You want to build in me?” Then take one small step of faith. What feels like a stumbling block can become a stepping stone.
