Did you know that the English word process comes from the Old French “proces”, from Latin “processus” ‘signifying progression, course (pathway),’ from the verb procedere ( proceed)?
Process is a series of actions or steps taken to achieve a result. A process is intended to produce a better outcome. A process mitigates risk and enhances safety and well being.
If you’re going through a process, you are greatly loved and have been hand-picked by God to go through it in preparation for your advancement and promotion. I know how it feels when you think you’re good to
graduate; only for another SERIES to begin compelling you to KEEP ON. God’s got something bigger in mind.
Why series one might ask? A one-time action will not develop you as repetition would. Repetition makes an expert out of the mediocre. It develops character, improves behavior and harnesses ability. Don’t you love it? God is making an expert out of you! A faith expert, healing expert, finance expert, business expert, parental expert, marital expert …..Anything He’s called you to be expert.
I am sure you will be pleased to know that the process does not last forever; it ends once the desired outcome has been achieved. It’ll soon be over! So be encouraged, persevere and endure.
Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of]character (approved faith and]tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:3-5 (AMP)
After all, you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let this endurance complete its work so that you may be fully mature, complete, and lacking in nothing. James 1:3-4 (CEB)
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. James 1:12 (NIV)
