Grace for your spirit September20, 2012


Grace for your spirit
Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith;  examine yourselves!  Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you-unless indeed you fail the test?  II Corinthians 13:5

When we were students in school, did you ever notice the different responses to the announcement of an upcoming test?  The good students in the class seemed to be happy about the test.  They knew it was a tool to help them know how well they were learning the material.  The rest of us joined in a group moaning for the tragedy that was on the horizon.  How we are responding to the testing of our faith, may be an important indicator of our strength in Christ.  A test now and then is good preparation for that final exam when we stand in front of God at the judgment day.  Let's keep up day by day to avoid the "cramming session" when the trumpet sounds.
