Your Faith Will Be Tested

1 PETER 4:12 ESV 12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

Don’t be surprised when your faith is tested! And don’t be afraid! Jesus – who promised to never forsake you – is still there to help you.

The test of faith is the devil trying to steal your faith. The devil wants you to believe something other than God’s Word.

MARK 4:15 ESV 15 And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them.

The devil wants to steal God’s Word out of your life, to stop your faith. So you have to hang on to your faith! You have to say “NO!” to the devil!

Our enemy could never steal faith in God’s Word away from us unless at some point it seems like God’s Word is wrong. Or that God has forgotten us and forsaken us. This will happen to you sometime! When it does, trust God and His faithfulness more than you trust your present circumstances.

HEBREWS 10:23 ESV 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

HEBREWS 4:14 NLT 14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.

No matter what it seems like – Jesus is faithful. He cannot lie! Our problem is our limited perspective. We don’t know the future, but God does.

1 PETER 1:7 ESV 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith – more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire – may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Genuine faith is very precious to the Lord. When you overcome tests you grow spiritually, which causes joy in Heaven, and should encourage you to rejoice, too.

JAMES 1:2-4 ESV 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

LUKE 22:32 ESV 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.“

SAY THIS: When my faith is tested, the Lord will help me pass the test.

Glorify God In Death

ECCLESIASTES 3:1-2 KJV 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; Death is a part of life we cannot escape. The Bible does not say a certain time has been determined for you to die. It says it has been appointed for us to die once. After death there will be judgment (not reincarnation.) HEBREWS 9:27 KJV 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: There is a time to die. When you have lived a full life, then it is time to face death. It is also a good time to die when you can glorify God by your death. Too many people think life is to be grasped at any cost. Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s, and we should seek to glorify Him and please Him. JOHN 21:19 KJV 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. ROMANS 14:
