¹⁰ For You, God, tested us; You refined us as silver is refined.

¹¹ You lured us into a trap; You placed burdens on our backs.

¹² You let men ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but You brought us out to abundance.

- Psalm 66:10–12 (HCSB)

This verse really just jumped out at me as I was reading it this week. It makes me think about how sometimes in life (like right now for me) God lets us go through times of intense suffering, or stress, or hardship, but he promises to pull us out at the end of it. I guess for me right now things seem a little turbulent due to our upcoming child. Not knowing what is going to happen, worrying about the financial aspect of providing for a baby on such a tight budget, not exactly sure where or how God is going to provide. This passage provide me a little comfort, being able to connect with what the psalmist wrote several thousand years ago.
