“BE VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS AND THE LAW THAT MOSES THE SERVANT OF THE LORD GAVE YOU: TO LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD, TO WALK IN ALL OF HIS WAYS, TO OBEY HIS COMMANDS, TO HOLD FAST TO HIM, AND TO SERVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND SOUL.” Joshua 22:5
“EXAMINE YOURSELVES TO SEE WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE FAITH; TEST YOURSELVES.” 2 Corinthians 13:5
We have all taken examines in school and they have all had great importance for finishing our educational goals. However, the self-examination that our Lord asks of us is the most important exam we will ever take. It is an on-going exam that we must complete often. We live in a world that demands of us certain things that are not included in the demands of our Lord God in heaven. Because we live in this world and are surrounded by these worldly things, we must work even harder to stay in God’s righteousness. The things of the Lord, in most cases, demand us to go against the human nature of those on this earth. We are to Love our God in heaven by praising him and talking with him often. We must walk in his ways which are ways that demonstrate his truths, understanding and wisdom. If we are following our Lord, then our problems are temporary, but our blessings will be eternal. But if we are outside of the Lord’s ways our blessings will be temporary and our problems eternal. Our self-exam must be daily. We must focus and exert our efforts on the ways of the Lord our God. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART TODAY! TIME IS QUICKLY RUNNING OUT!
