James 1:2–4; Ephesians 4:14; Psalm 62:5–6
Introduction
One major sign of maturity is stability.
Immature believers are easily shaken.
Their faith rises and falls based on circumstances.
Mature believers remain anchored in God regardless of circumstances.
The Purpose of Testing
God uses trials to:
- Strengthen faith

Testing is not evidence that God has abandoned you.
Often it is evidence that God is developing you.
