At Devotions Done Daily, we believe that climbing life’s mountains with unwavering faith is the true mark of spiritual growth. Today’s devotion reminds us that trials are not setbacks—they are God’s refining fires that shape us to be steadfast and complete, lacking nothing.
“A lot of men in the church today are selling maps to mountains they’ve never climbed…”
— Anonymous
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to give advice about challenges you’ve never personally faced? James reminds us in James 1:2-4 that real faith isn’t theoretical—it’s lived.
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
Life will inevitably bring mountains that seem impossible to climb. These are not punishments—they are opportunities. Opportunities for our faith to be refined, much like silver or gold in the fire:
“I will refine them like silver and purify them like gold.”
— Zechariah 13:9
There will be seasons where your only lifeline is your faith in God. I’m living in that period right now, and I can testify—His grace is sufficient.
The Psalmist teaches us from childhood that even in the darkest valleys, God’s presence brings comfort:
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
— Psalm 23:4
As you climb your mountains today, remember: you are not lacking anything when you have Jesus. Walk boldly with faith, knowing that the same God who allowed the trial is walking beside you through it.
