Let everything that you do, reflect the God that is in you. Let the God that is in you come out when you are helping or uplifting someone. Let the God that is in you come out when you are showing someone love, or compassion. That little light of yours won’t have any choice but to shine when everything that God has put inside of you comes out of you. Every day you are blessed with another opportunity to bless someone else.
Good day to you all! The road may not be easy, but your destination is your destiny. God has made plans for you and there is no one that can stand in your way!
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 2 Timothy 3:16
In school I was always good at taking tests. I will admit that sometimes I would study at the last minute, and by the grace of God I would pass the test anyway. I know that some of my classmates were not able to accomplish the task of passing without studying. As a matter of fact some of the people that I went to school with could only pass the test if it was an open book test. They had a hard time retaining the information, and for some reason they were not able to apply a method of study that would allow them to reproduce the information when it was time to be examined. So no matter how hard they tried to study, when test time came around they would draw a blank. However they would get a chance to redeem themselves when the teacher would say, pull out your text, this is an open book test.
Dear Reader I want you to know that they are going to be some difficult tests in life. God did not promise us an easy road, but He promised us that He would be there every step of the way. When we come to the fork in the road sometimes it can be hard for us to decide which way to go. When you come across those situations that seem impossible, know that God has not left you, He is only testing you. Now I know that I told you that I was able to pass tests in school without studying, but the same is not true in the real world. When it came to the ups and downs and ins and outs of life I found myself drawing a blank. I was having a hard time retaining the information. Dear Reader, I was trying to answer all of the question on my own, until God told me that I was working too hard. God made it plain that I was racking my brain, when all the while it was an open book test. All I had to do was open up my Bible and read the answers to the test in the text. Dear Reader let me save you some time. When it comes to the tests that this world may lay in front of you, it’s good if you know the information, but if you have a moment where the information escapes you, I want you to know that it is an open book test. As a bonus today I am even going to give you some answers out of the answer key.
You have been going through something for a very long time, and don’t know what to do. The Answer can be found in Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer
You don’t think God has a plan for you? The answer can be found in Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
You want to know what true love is? The answer can be found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 Love is patient and kind; loves does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away, as for tongues they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away
Dear Reader there are so many answers that we can find in God’s word. Once you seek Him for your answers you will agree with the author of Hebrews when he wrote in chapter 4 verse 12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Dear Reader you are now ready to take your test. You are ready for life’s final exams. Be of good joy while you are being tested, because once you pass the test you will move on to the next level.
You are beautiful, loved, and blessed
John Reed
