You know, the enemy wants to take God's children out realllllllly bad! Many of us are giving in & giving him the satisfaction. Some of the things we go through are indeed self inflicted, some of the things we go through are tests from God, and of course, some of the things we go through come strictly from the enemy himself. Regardless of the matter, PASS THE TEST! God is calling us to OBEDIENCE! We cannot and will not enter into the kingdom of heaven based off of "good deeds" alone, for we have to live righteously according to God's will and plan for our lives. Trials and tribulations only come to make us STRONGer and they shouldn't tear us down to shreds. God didn't design for us to be defeated, but all VICTORY is found in him! Yes, God allows some things to happen in our lives that seem unbearable, but its only because he is building our character and actually showing us that he loves us just as a mother/father would to their child when they have done wrong. God will allow that car that he said we didn't need anyways, but still got it out of disobedience, to be taken away or even wrecked, he will take that boyfriend/girlfriend away from us that we felt we'd never live without because we gave them more time than him (for he is a jealous God), and he will allow the enemy to shake and stir us up in order to see where our faith truly lies.....but we still have the ability to PASS THE TEST!
We pass our tests by facing the matters at hand and never leaving God's side, no matter how difficult the situations and circumstances "appear" to be. We pass our tests by trusting in God to see us through every problem, even the ones we've gotten ourselves into, and we pass our tests by learning from them & using them for God's glory! God loves us & wants us to prosper in every way. Stop moping around sad, angry, depressed, jealous, and bitter! Take your situations and fight light a champ. You don't have time to sit around and wait on your change to come (so to say), because you still have work to do. Even in the midst of difficult times in your life, you have to bless & praise God in season and out of season. Through your tears, BLESS GOD, through your pain, BLESS GOD, through your hurt and confusion, BLESS GOD! He will work it out. Be obedient to his will, be mindful of the things you say and do, and see things with your spiritual instead of natural eyes and spirit. Tests come to make us stronger....now will you pass yours or flunk out?
Thanks for reading!

| Don't give up on God because he won't & hasn't given up on YOU! Pass the test with flying colors and watch God continue to work it all out for you! Be obedient to him, remain in him, and continue to serve and work through him. He loves you & so do I...please don't leave his side! God bless you! |
This is a really good post! I thought about Job when I read this. No matter what he went through, he remained faithful to the Lord. I also though about the children of Israel. They spent 40 years trying to make an 11 day journey. When we fail our tests, we have to take them over again. Just as they went around the same mountain for 40 years, when we fail the tests we are given, we have to go around and around until we get it right.
ReplyDeleteBTW...your hair is really pretty on that pic too ^_^.
AMEN! That is a word all by itself Nikell, lol! Thank you for sharing, and you are certainly RIGHT sis....if we fail, we must keep trying & take the test over until we get it right! I bless God for second, third, and one-hundred chances...lol. He is faithful & I'm grateful! And thank you for the compliment! My hair is really starting to "grow" on me....hahaha! I pray you are doing fabulous! As always, THANK YOU!
