Times of Testings

11 All the tests they endured on their way through the wilderness are a symbolic picture, an example that provides us with a warning so that we can learn through what they experienced. For we live in a time when the purpose of the ages past is now completing its goal within us. 12 So beware if you think it could never happen to you, lest your pride becomes your downfall. 13 We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out victoriously. (1 Corinthians 10:11-13 The Passion)

We probably never actually look forward to times of testing. But in looking back over our lives of serving our God, it was the times of testing that helped us to grow. God faithfully helped us through each of those times and I am confident He will help us the next time. I believe this; “And each test is an opportunity to trust him more…”

Thank You, Father, for always being there, for helping us through each time of testing and trial. We trust You always.

AMEN My God, I will worship You with extended hands. I will tell about Your wonderful works and how Your marvelous miracles exceed expectations. Psalm 9
