Put God to the test

Hello everyone, it’s a pleasure to be here and to take part in your life, entering your home, and work, through this Biblical message, which is a source of strength.

“Therefore let the Lord be judge, and judge between you and me, and see and plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand.” (ISm.24: 15)

After David was consecration as king of Israel, Saul began to chase him. Apparently, David was facing an injustice in his life. If he was already king, why didn’t God make his life easier by making him immediately reign over Israel?

We can compare the difficulties and injustices we face to egg whites, the more you beat them, the more they grow! Know that during those times God is molding you, even if you weren’t expecting it. David didn’t ask to be king, but God knew who he was and that drew His attention. But God still didn’t make it any easier.

God allowed David to conquer the kingdom to prove the potential that was inside of him and to show the kind of faith and communion he had with God. In order to make it a known fact that he was anointed and chosen by God, he had to face many difficulties.

David proved to everyone that he was worthy of becoming king!

He wasn’t simply placed in the palace and began his reign; he had to conquer it first!

Sometimes you think, “I’m facing an injustice in my life.” But you and I, we have to conquer and overcome it. That will show through our behavior our confidence and belief in God.

When we truly believe, we don’t have to rely on God saying “yes” or to reign in a “kingdom” where everyone has to submit to you, like in David and Saul’s time. David could’ve thought the same about Saul, because God had consecrated him king. But he didn’t! David was humble, he said, ” Therefore let the Lord be judge.”

When a person doesn’t “owe” anything to anyone, he or she puts God to the test. Now, when they owe something like: a hidden sin, bad conduct or have been unrighteous then they are weak. Those are examples we have already spoken about in this Blog.
That person is not able to put God to the test, he or she can’t risk it by talking to God with such audacity, because they see themselves in debt, and this debt is with the devil!

Everyone should evaluate themselves. If you do, you’ll be investing in your inner being.
But, by pointing fingers at others and not investing on yourself, you will only condemn yourself to have bad eyes. You will cancel out whom you really are by looking at how others are investing on themselves.

David didn’t become King until he proved himself before God, proving he could really dominate his feelings and depended only on God.

When he faced difficulties, he didn’t go to his parents or siblings for help. No! He turned to God. This is how a righteous person behaves: He or she has a partnership with God.

A big hug. Until next time.
