Challenges Quote by Joel Osteen
“God never promised that we wouldn’t have challenges. In fact, He said just the opposite. His word says, ‘Be truly glad!...these trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure…’ so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day of His return.”

![“[God] is waiting and anxious to pour out blessings, and glory, and honor, and exaltation upon his people, far more than we have ever received, and far more than we are capable of receiving; and the only reason we have not received it long ago is because there was no place found for it.” quote by Erastus Snow](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/fb7/erastus-snow-66395_anxious_god-is-waiting-and-anxious-to-pour-out-b_1359280.jpg)
