Do you remember taking test in school? They where given to see what or how much you learned. Sometimes test are used to determine where you should be, what more you need, or to see if you qualify for a position. Here it is the end of the month and you have been waiting on your Monthly Teaching. What took so long you may ask. As God continues to lead it is always in His timing that I move, speak or do.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 (KJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. [12] Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. [13] And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
There may be many Hard Taskmasters operating in your life. He knows just what you are going through. God knows all things
Rev. 1:8 (KJV) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
God is always right on time. He may not come when you want him but He is always right on time. It is not our will, our way nor our plan but His. He will allow us to go through Just to prove He is who we say He is in us.
Psalm 34:19 (KJV) Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. Psalm 30:5 (KJV) For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. John 8:36 (KJV) If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. We must know that whatever we are going through; God has allowed. You may go through just to get to a place of safety. As we trust God we will not always see the end but we must continue by faith. The world is going to hate you just as it hated Jesus. We are in an ordered step. Psalm 37:23 (KJV) The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Have you ever faced such a time of testing where Your tears became your meat? Psalm 42:3 (KJV) My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
I know you probably have not been here as saved as you are. I have been at this place. But I heard the Psalmist say:
Psalm 126:5 (KJV) They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Has there been times when there is nothing you can do to fix it? It is late in the midnight hour when you don't know what to pray, how to pray or even desire to pray that God will turn it around. You may even wonder where is God? Romans 8:34 (KJV) Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
You may think this test is going to kill me. How can death be a small thing, or there is no provision for my family, "Surely This is a Gaint" !!! You may even want to give up and run away from your problem. Remember position is important in the Blessings. God will bless you where you are in the presence of your enemy. We are only being prepared for the upcoming year 2008 when there will be Great Temptations, TRIALS, Tribulations, and Testing. It will show where you really are and where you need to be in Christ. We can claim to be well versed, Holy, righteous, Pastor, Prophet or whoever you claim to be in Christ. It will be as is this a diamond or a rock. In the midst of testing it will prove what you say. God births out of disorder. We will be under the magnifying glass.
Test, Trails, temptations, and tribulations will drive you into the face of the Father. And as you draw near to Him he will draw near to you. Let me encourage you to pass the test. Endure the hardship as a good solider, and seek Him daily for the revealed plan for your life. He wants us to be just like Him. He is causing us to become more like Him. He gives us gifts and responsibilities to look after until He returns. He longs for us to be faithful and diligent in doing our duty, and He is going to greatly reward those who are faithful. But He is going to severely judge those who do nothing to help a lost and needful world. If you would but give God a tenth of your day in His word it would serve you well with something to muse and meditate on throughout the whole day. You will also find that there is nothing new under the sun.
As you study this Month of October Know that there is ample supply to help you understand the things of God. We are Christians so we must find how things apply to us. We are in this world, but not of this world. We are not under the Law but we keep the Law of God. His principles still yet apply. Therefore we must know it in order to keep it. Trails, Tribulations, temptations and tests are going to come, but remember that our God is able to deliver us out of them all.
