The word for today is - Test !

Good morning,

The word for today is - Test !

 

Now, let's look at the word from God in Deuteronomy 6:16, Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah. This is telling us do not test the Lord. Now, lets look at the test of Jesus it's in Matthew. You can read Matthew chapter 4:1-11, and you will see that the devil tested Jesus, it says, Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Go back and read that again, look at verse7,it means,Jesus said to him, Again it is written,You shall not  put the Lord your God to the test.Now look at verses 10-11,Jesus says to Satan, Be gone,Satan! For it is written,You shall worship the Lord your God and him only, shall you serve.Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him. Now think about that, if Jesus was tested by Satan, do you think he is going to test you also? Jesus has giving us away out, His word, read Psalm 23: 1-6, The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Do you want to past the test? If so, study my word said the Lord, read Psalm 32:8,I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Now that is awesome, to know that the Lord will guide thee, so that you can past with an A+! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
