EXAMINATION TIME

This is the 108^th letter:

Text for the day: 2 Corinthians 13:5 (King James Version)

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Our Theme for the day: EXAMINATION TIME

Our Devotional

Finally examination schedule, this was the poster that was huge on the wall by the employment office. Forty applicants had applied and Bill was one of them. Bill a hard worker and every one knew it, hated to be tested. The day had come, but Bill was not prepared for the test, he had spent the time in studying, but his mind was not prepared. Not everyone is ready for an examination, but we must examine ourselves, whether be in the faith or not; we must prove our own selves" (2 Corinthians 13:5). If the mind is not ready for an examination, or test, it doesn’t matter what good thing you do in leading up to that test, you are unready. We should examine our mind daily. To check our attitudes, this should not be a hard thing to do. To criticize our temper, disposition, thoughts, words, inclinations, purposes, and deeds, calls for our highest attention. . How can we intelligently ask the Lord for the things we need, unless we have a right mind? This is the day to prove by the Scriptures the condition of our spiritual health.

Most people around the world live in a religious community, but many in their religious life are making crooked paths for their feet. Their prayers are offered in a loose, haphazard manner. If you are placed in a position of responsibility, remember that of yourself you are unable to do that which is required of you. We need the Lord. Every day remember that you are a spectacle unto the world, to angels, and to men. In what ever area of life you are called as servant leaders, serve cheerfully. Examine yourself and take up your work, however humble it is, and wherever you may be placed. Christ, our example in all things, was poor, that through His poverty He might make many rich. Finally, those whose heart is filled with the grace of God and love for the perishing will find opportunity, to speak a word or do a kind act in season to those who are weary.

The end of the calendar year has come, to the Christian this is examination time, and God is calling upon you to serve Him in every transaction of life for the coming year. The world is no more favorable today for the development of Christian character than in Noah's day. Wickedness is widespread across our world, which calls for our minds to be focus through our test. Are you ready for your next test?
