BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you.”
1 Peter 4:12
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Has something bad happened to you and you said, “Oh me. What did I do? I must have done something terrible otherwise this wouldn’t have happened”? And before you knew it you fell headlong into a pity party of morbid introspection — taking yourself apart piece by piece to see where you went wrong? If you’re like most people, you have. But, have you ever thought that maybe you’ve done absolutely nothing wrong but God is simply testing your faith? This is an important truth for you to understand, because if you don’t, you may get discouraged. The seeds of doubt and discouragement sprout in the soil of ignorance.
ACTION POINT:
Read Exodus 16 about the testing of the Lord in the lives of the Israelites while wandering in the desert. What applications can you give to your life?
