Tests and Temptations of Life
RUTH 1:8-16
Ruth 1:16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
“When it seems all else has failed, Will you remember that Jesus is still Faithful, and He will lift you.”
Test and trials are circumstances that God allows and uses to check our level of commitment and submission to Him,(James 1:3 Genesis 22;2)
While temptation are grounds of lust the devil comes with to check if we will yield to it(Luke 4:1-13)
but when we pass these we get PROMOTED in the Spirit and physically.
James 1:2-4
My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can!(from Knowing God more in that situation)
For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up power within you to endure all things.
And then as your endurance grows even stronger it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking.
Temptations will come to check if a lust is in your heart. But let the word of God be hidden in your heart(beliefs/convictions) so you won’t SIN against God. (Psalm 119:11)
Other people’s destinies are tied to and will be helped by your passing that test
Be faithful,Hebrews 6:15 And So, After He Had PATIENTLY ENDURED, he OBTAINED the promise.
