ENDURING TESTS=IN OUR LIVES

 

God has a HISTORY=Of asking his most ARDENT FOLLOWERS=to endure

TRIALS AND TESTS=Especially in the OLD TESTAMENT=We have God asking

Abraham=To sacrifice his Son Isaac=We have God=ALLOWING Satan=To

Bring disaster upon Job=and we have OUR Holy Father God=TESTING the Jewish

People over and over and over again=THIS TESTING=Is to confirm=how much

THE FAITHFUL can take==While ENDURING test after trial=In their lives

 

“Search me=O Lord=and TRY ME=TEST MY soul and my heart=For your

Mercy=is before my eyes=and I walk in your truth”                                                                           Psalm 26:2-3

And then we=have THE NEW TESTAMENT=Beginning with the TRIALS AND TESTS

Of Jesus=The greatest INDIVIDUAL TEST=anyone has ever ENDURED=In the history

Of Mankind=FOLLOWED by the TESTING of=the apostles and saints down through

The ages

 

“Search me God=and know my heart=TEST ME=and know my anxiout thoughts”      Psalm 139:23

“Do not conform=To the pattern of this world=But be transformed by=the renewing

Of your mind=Then you will be able=TO TEST=and approve what God’s will is=--------

His good=pleasing and perfect will”                                                                                                 Romans 12:2

“Dear friends=Do not believe every spirit=But TEST the spirits=To see whether they are=

From God=Because many false prophets=have gone out=into this world”                      1 John 4:1

 

Then you have us=the 21^st century Christain apostles=and saints=Being TESTED

On every front=The physical=the spiritual=and the emotional TESTS=we all face=TRIED

And tested in our HEALTH matters=in our financial dealings=and in EVERY relationship

Venue=that there is=But  we were=MADE TO ENDURE=these tests=Just like the Old

Testament heros=and just like Jesus=and his apostles=and his saints=MADE to live=

MADE TO ENDURE=these tests in our life=Because we are=FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST!

 

“May his name=ENDURE FOREVER=May it continue=as long as the sun=Then all nations

Will be blessed through him=and they will call him blessed”                                                        Psalm 72:17

“IF WE ENDURE=We will also reign with him”                                                                                   2 Timothy 2:12

“Since you have kept my command=TO ENDURE PATIENTLY=I will also keep you=

From the hour of TRIAL=That is going to come on=the whole world=TO TEST the=

Inhabitants of the earth”                                                                                                                            Revelation 3:10

 

WE MUST ENDURE=all these new trials=In this the 21^st cantury=but when we TRUST=

In the Lord=We should have NO FEAR=It just brings us CLOSER=to the Lord=and His Father=

When we succeed!

And when we TRIUMPH=Over all the trials of this world=We can REJOICE=and thank

Our Lord=and His Father=For all of HIS MERCY=

ENDURING TRIALS=In and THROUGH OUR LIVES!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LIVING=Forever loving=FOREVER ENDURING=

Holy Father God!
