Some people exercise their bodies to become physically fit. God exercises our spirit to become spiritually fit, He often uses physical means to do it, through illness. He also uses finances, human relationships and mental trials to shape us into His likeness.

We don't learn very much without trials. We may not think we are learning anything in midst of the trial, usually I whine to be bailed out, but after the trial passes I can see the change in perspective that wasn't there before.

The trials are not fun, but coming out the other side a little better than we were before is wonderful. All trials change us if we are not stubborn.

Hebrews 12:5-8

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

"5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,

“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,

Nor faint when you are reproved by Him;

6 For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines,

And He scourges every son whom He receives.”

7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons."
