“The example of self-denial, universal kindness, long-suffering and love, is a rebuke to the spirit of impatient, and violence. Let us take some time to see what little we can do, in our neighborhoods and work places in making a difference today.”
This is the 255th letter:
Text for the day: Job 19:25-27
“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:”
Our Devotional
Today we end our series on “TIS ALMOST TIME FOR THE LORD TO COME!”
Testing time can be a time of confidence to those who have put the time in getting ready for their big day. On the other hand, the time of testing, can offer great difficulty or frustration to those who have not prepared to stand the test. To some they sweat when the time of testing comes. Others chew their pencils; and feel butterflies in their stomachs as the test paper is passed to them.
It's natural to feel some stress when you are put under a test. In fact, sometimes a little adrenaline (a hormone made by your body during times of excitement or stress) is a good thing, some say, to jump-start you. These are some tips that can help you when you are facing a known test.
- Take time to study. Be sure you've studied and have a proper understanding of the subject or trial.
- Get enough sleep the night before the test. Your memory recall will be much better if you've had enough rest, and you will not be so frustrated under the trial or test.
- Listen closely to any instructions. This could be a pass mark or failure.
- Read the test through first. If something seems unclear before you start, don't panic: ask questions.
- Stay Focused: Keep your mind on addressing each question or trial individually.
- Relax. Take four or five deep breaths before and during the test, or go to the beach before, it will relax you.
- Use extra time wisely. It's usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work.
A person once said, “If you live long enough you will have to face some sort of test some day. To those who love God, those who are "the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28), God has not promised you an easy road with-out trails. On this subject of testing, the Biblical biography has a higher lesson for them who are called to the ministry of sorrow and test. The Bible reminds us, "Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God" (Isaiah 43:10-13 / Isaiah 44:8)
When God brings us through our test, it serves as a witness to others that He is good, and that His goodness is supreme. On the other hand, angels and men are amazed when they see us walk through the dark trials still trusting in Jesus, 1 Corinthians 4:9.
As Job came to his major test in life, and people longed for him to just give up his faith and die, he looked up to God and said, “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:” This in not an ordinary man, but one who understood the deep things of God. That when in the face of death and no way out of his test, he could look to God and say don’t worry about a thing, because every little thing it’s gonna be alright. I don’t know what you're going through today, but like job you can say, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: Job 13:15".
