Count It All Joy: You Will Pass Your Test!

By Pastor Pattie Reeves
Co-Adminstrator, Covenant Home Care

In the post, "Who Said You Had To Deserve What God Gives You", Rick Renner spoke of the assignments that God gives us that sometimes we don't feel worthy of or that we feel we are failing.

What test is assigned to you? Is it an illness, a financial collapse or marriage collapse that you are having to deal with? 

Whatever is assigned to you: Be Strong, don't give up! And above all, do not charge God foolishly!

Tests sometimes come and they make you strong. Tests give you an opportunity to rest, collect your thoughts and find out in what areas you need to forgive and repent. 

We all will be tested. Just as in the natural, you have to study and know the material to pass a test, in the spiritual, you must know God's Word and what promises you have in the Word to pass the test!

As James so perfectly and purely stated in his testing, "Brethern, I count it all joy!"

The "joy of the Lord is my strength." What's yours?
