Nways lets start to deal with the fact that testings will come.
In Psalms 81:7 - "you called in trouble, and i rescued u; i answered you in the hiding place of thunder; i TESTED you at the waters of Meribah."
Well we Christians who have been saved noe wat it was like before we were saved. WE called out to God to save us n in His amazing grace He did! (you called in trouble, and i rescued u). We went on living our lives and we have seen the goodness of God, the wonderful miracles He has done in times where things seem impossible with men sumhow manage to happen. (i answered you in the hiding place of thunder - being answered by thunder is not sumtin normal.=_=).
And GUESS WAD!
WE WILL BE TESTED
(i TESTED you at the waters of Meribah)
WE WILL BE TESTED
(i TESTED you at the waters of Meribah)
U c.God will test His people coz wat is faith if it cant be tested? and this testing is also to show us whether we have actually been following God cz of the blessings and when He stops givin blessings to us would we still seek Him or juz turn our backs? =S. Testing also are also to produce perseverance as it says in James 1:3 - The testing of ur faith produces perseverance.
As we draw close to the 2nd coming of Christ, Testings will come all the more 2 an even greater degree! This is coz God wants to separate the weed from the grass, the goats from the sheep and those who have never genuinely love God will fall away to the cares of this world. I sincerely hope ur nt 1 of them. But nway, hope for those who dun fall away. As u go thru this testings, and u "pass" them, u are one of those ppl who God is gonna use POWERFULLY to do His work in the last days.
Noticed why i highlited the Powerfully? In Luke 4:1 it says that Jesus was led about by the Spirit in the wilderness. U c ! Some of us may be goin thru the "desserts" of life (testings) as we experience lack of resources and etc. I noe im goin thru 1 now with the assignments and all piling up n the lack of knowledge in how to do it all. BUt u noe. im NOT GONA WORRY! =)..cz if u read on in Luke 4:14, It says that Jesus returned in the POWER OF THE SPIRIT! dosent it juz make u rejoice when goin thru testings? it does me coz i noe as i yield myself more to God in the midst of this troubles, I will come out of it in POWER of the Spirit!!
So my bros n sis in Christ, let us not be down when goin thru testings but rather REJOICE coz our God has sumtin amazing installed for us as we go thru this testings and there will be POWER!! =D. so REJOICE!
Rejoicing in trials,
David
