Grit and Bear It – Day 23 – Growth Is Grueling

The strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire.

— Chinese Proverb —

Reflection:

The opening quote feels spot on—especially as we step into what might be the hottest week of the year.

But beyond the weather, there’s a deeper heat we all face.

Growth isn’t born in comfort. It’s forged in the furnace—where faith is tested, muscles ache, and hearts are stretched.

Grit doesn’t run from the fire; it leans in, knowing God uses it to refine what He intends to shine.

…been there, got fired up, refined, and shined.

Soul Search:

What is being refined in your life through difficulty right now?


“I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.” – Isaiah 48:10
