God Will Test Us

Scripture Zechariah 13:9 I will bring the one-third through the fire,
Will refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested.
They will call on My name,
And I will answer them.
I will say, ‘This is My people’;
And each one will say, ‘The LORD is my God.’”

Observation: This life is full of trouble and each trial is a test. How we do in these tests can make us stronger and closer to God or cause us to have self-pity and draw away from Him. These tests are necessary to build our character and to show God our love for Him. We are never alone with our trials God is always there for us and when we call on His name, He will answer us because we are His people.

Application: I need to stand strong in any trial I might face, knowing God is with me and He is building me up while testing me. I need to pass the test and continually grow closer to my Lord. Always be prepared to encounter testing as I walk through this life.

Prayer My Lord, I know you will never leave me or forsake me. Make me into the man that will please and glorify Your name. I know I can’t do this along so please strengthen your servant for any task You put before me.
