Are You Being Tested?

Our Thoughts:

There's not a day that goes by that we aren't tested with something, no matter how small. It might be just in a conversation, where we don't agree with someone. We either learn to keep our mouth shut, or perhaps say something that we will later regret. It might be on the job; either tested by the boss, who expects a little too much out of one worker. Or, perhaps from a co-worker that doesn't carry the work load. Children are tested by their peers. They are called names, which children hate to hear! They are tempted to say something back, or hit that person.

Satan has a hold in this world. He is out there, with his helpers, to put a conflict between you and another person. He wants to cause chaos wherever he can. He knows his days are short, so he's trying out every method known to man, in order to gain access to you and your soul. If he can get you to err, then, he's on the right path. One error leads to another, and another, until, one day, you are caught up in his devices, and it's hard to let go.

No matter how low you get, or how much you are tested, there is always somewhere to go, and someone who can help. Go straight to the Father, for He already knows the trials you are facing. The devil tempts you with every little thing, just as he tempted Jesus. But, you can be the victor over sin. How? Through the strength of Christ Jesus. His Spirit is in you, and you need to learn to walk in the Spirit. Flesh is weak, but He is strong, and His Spirit can keep you from all troubles. Learn to lean on Him and live a stronger Christian life!

God's Thoughts:

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Our Cup:

Heavenly Father, you give us strength to combat the enemy. Help us to lean on you every day, so that we may walk a victorious life. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
