Am I Ready for the Test?

Scripture: Genesis 22:1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I am,” he replied.

Observation: God tests us all and like in school we hate tests. If we do good however in a test we get to move on. That is what God’s tests are a way to advance in His kingdom. We need to prove that we know His Word, Kindness, faithfulness, grace and the only way to show that we know is by taking the test. If we will trust our teacher and know whatever test He gives us, He is also watching over us and that there is nothing on this earth that can harm us if we are going for the prize of eternal life with our Master.

Application: I need to be more willing to face the test and to do my best when they come. I need to have more faith, knowing that my Lord is my teacher and He will never leave me or forsake me. I’m only in this school for a little while until I graduate with Him. May I live a life as an honor student and not just squeak by with a passing grade.

Prayer: My Lord, My God, my savior and teacher. Help me get through the tests of this life. I know you are with me, may I never doubt or forget you are by my side and you have all the answers to pass this course.
