You Must Take the Test

Wisdom to Change

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?-unless indeed you are disqualified. 2 Corinthians 13:5


The company I work for requires me to take several tests. One test in particular I remember taking is the Compliance test. This is done online and the great thing about it is if you don’t complete it in the same day, you’re able to pick up from where you left off at. Now, I don’t know anything about Compliance Rules and Regulations, but when I take the time to read and understand it, this helps me prepare for the questions coming up. Did you know there will always be a test to take in this life? When it gets hard we tend to want to give up and quit, but something within just won’t let us. This is where we leave the test module and pick back up on it later. Somehow we tell ourselves, we have to go through and complete our assignment. Guess what? Just like the test module, life’s tests are the same way. When you pause from the test, God has you pick right back up where you left off at.


There’s no way of getting around it, you have to go through and take the test. These tests are designed to help you grow, take you to the next level and give you a greater measure of faith to trust God. When the children of Israel heard that God was going to deliver them from hard bondage which was a promise, they got excited. They felt as if they were going to leave right now, but to their surprise things started going wrong. When Moses went to Pharaoh and told him what God said, Pharaoh made it hard on the children of Israel. They could not believe it. How could God say one thing and all this is happening? Don’t you know any promise we stand on and take as our own, the enemy of our soul will fight to make sure we give up and quit. Listen, whenever God gives us a promise, rest assured there will be a problem BUT God has given us His provision.


Some of you reading this right now, God promised you something and it seems like it’s just not coming to pass. Not so, says the Lord. Recognize the signs of the EBS -Enemy being Stupid. He’s always setting off alarms to make you think it’s an emergency or you're doing something wrong. Stay focus and take the test. This test that you’re taking is not hard. The answers have already been given to you. I’m going to let you in on a little secret. This test you’re taking is an open book test. Also the Teacher is willing to give you the answers to all the questions, if you’ll ask. And no, this is not cheating. He's excited to give you the answers. So don’t try and figure it out on your on.


Relax, take your time and rest in Him whom all blessings flow. If your test is scheduled soon or sometime later, remember to start preparing now. The Teacher that's assigned to help is willing to give you the answers and it's an open book test.


Have a Beautiful Day
