This Is A Test, Part 2: How God Tests Us

.

.

.

.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – January 10 (This is a test, Part 2: Women pastors & other similar tests in the Bible)

 

.

God tests people. From the very first test back in the garden, God tests people.

.

Oh yes,  there is coming a day in which the Lord will no longer test His tried and true sons and daughters

.

But for now, we must endure the various tests which come our way.

.

Those who are God’s Elect

.

16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

.

Listen to the Book of Job…”What is man, that Thou (God) shouldest magnify him? and that Thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? And that Thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?” Job 7:17, 18

.

So here is seen that, not only does God test people, but our infinite God tries each human “every moment”!

.

The Bible is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart…”For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

.

Here above the Lord reveals that His Word discovers what’s in a person’s heart.

.

One way in which this is accomplished is through various tests which God has placed in His Word.

.

8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.” Deuteronomy

.

“…Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well….” 1st Peter 3:6

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

FIVE WISE VIRGINS STARS

.

This constellation was identified on May 22nd, 2014. It is simply five stars, two from the Serpens Constellation, and three from the Hercules Constellation.

Wikipedia Star-Chart - Corona Borealis

.

What gives this constellation impetus and significance is that it appears as five evenly positioned stars, in a slight oval pattern, as if they were sitting in a meeting, listening, or perhaps watching someone.

.

Second, they appear to be gathered in front of The Crown of Revelation 12 Constellation. (just below Corona Borealis in this Wikipedia star-chart, in which the editor of this site sketched in these two constellations)

.

.

.

GATHERED AROUND GLORIOUS CROWN!

.

The position of these stars is significant in a number of ways. The first, being that these Five Wise Virgins are Corona Borealis/Bootes & Five Wise Virginsgathered around the 12-star Crown of Revelation 12. And the obvious message here is, that these wise virgins represent the faithful portion of God’s Church. And as wise virgins, they understand the importance of winning the glorious crown of victory, which Jesus promised.

.

Listen… “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.” 1st Corinthians 9:24, 25. 

.

And so, God is showing us the difference between the wise and the foolish in His Church. While the wise are gathered around this crown of victory, the foolish are nowhere to be found.
