IT'S ONLY A TEST!
 
 
There are times when we really think that God and everybody else has forgotten you, but that’s not true. Psalms 115:12-13 says, The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
 
So many times we feel that we are all alone, out there just struggling along, trying to make it. Life sometimes seems so unfair, especially when you are doing all you know how to make it. If you are going through a terrible situation right now, or you’re experiencing a lot of problems, I want to encourage you today. The first thing you need to understand is that in every person’s life, challenges and problems will come. But no matter what challenges, tests, trials, persecutions and struggles you may be facing right now, you can make it! You can FINISH STRONG, BECAUSE IT’S ONLY A TEST! Don’t buckle under the pressure but brace yourself for the faith fight.
 
Listen, there is no problem that you and God cannot overcome and God has already provided the WAY OUT! That’s right, God has already provided the WAY OUT! God said in His word, "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." (1Corinthians 10:13 NLT)
 
So, my friend, don’t allow the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy you. If you are facing problems, whether it’s in your relationships, your family, your finances, your career, your health, your ministry, your emotions, whatever it is – listen to me…IF YOU ARE FACING IT, YOU CAN HANDLE IT! God is still TURNING THINGS AROUND for His people.
