Pass the Test

"The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure." 1 Corinthians 10:13 

Don't you just love how plainly the New Living Translation is written? Everyone has things that they're dealing with and no temptation is harder or easier to pass than another. As you are renewing our minds and changing your hearts to be more like Christ, the tests will come harder than ever. As soon as you claim contentment, peace, joy, patience, etc. you will be tested in those areas. Be prepared. Put on the whole armor of God daily, and don't allow the trials and frustration to keep you bound and steal your joy, because that's what the enemy wants. Can I get an amen? :) Happy FRIDAY! 

Getting tested?

"The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop the works and deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light." Romans 13:12

Every morning we should be clothing ourselves in truth. Why? Because there's a certain peace that comes from communicating with God first thing. There are many days that I personally get tested about the words I posted that morning! James 1 tells us not to back out of trials, but to pass the tests. I heard someone say, "the retest is always harder." Is your armor on? Happy Thursday! 

*February I'm going to be studying from a chapter in Matthew everyday. Get excited!
