Job 23:10
When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.
According to Jesus Himself, Satan has to ask permission (Luke 22:31-32). In the middle of our turmoil of true testing, if we could only remember this fact, what a power we could tap To stop and go, “WAIT A MINUTE! Satan you have no power here. You had to lay out your plan before God. This means He already has the escape route planned out for me. He also knows and trusts me enough to let you do this to me. So, obviously, I have the power through Him to overcome it.”
Now, before you go all, but Tabetha, how could God a loving God allow this or that to happen to people. Let me remind you of Job and Jesus, Himself. Do you for one moment consider yourself any better than either of them? So, why are you so surprised when trials head your way or others around you? I also don’t believe everything we go through is a test or trial from God or Satan for that matter. Things in life do just happen. I don’t pretend to know why. I do know that whatever gets thrown at you in life, God is there! He has promised to walk through it with you.
I know the test seems overwhelming, exhausting, heartbreaking, and impossible to pass. But aren’t you glad you are sitting next to the Guy with all the right answers and He wants you to cheat off of Him to earn that gold star?
Lord, I hate exams, but I know with You at myself, I will pass them and earn my gold star! ~amen
