It is Only a Test

When the walls tumble down around you, let it be the Jericho walls.

When an open sea is before you and the enemy is at your back,

You’re in the place for a miracle, you’ll walk safely there will be no lack.

When the heat is turned up seven times hotter, you are not alone, for the one who created all things is walking with you, you will not be overcome. He’s delivered you from the evil one.

When you’re lost in the desert with no water, and you feel like you can’t go on, speak to the rock he’s the living water, an oasis, a well spring for your soul. Drink and you’ll never thirst again for it’s in the desert you’ll meet Him.

When the waves of life surround you and you begin to sink, cry out, Lord, save me. Then let faith be your drink.

Do not doubt and do not fear…Peace be still, his voice you’ll hear.

When you’re surrounded by a den of lions, do not be overcome with fright…you’ll lie down in perfect sleep for they’ll keep you warm at night.

Let faith be your constant companion and Holy Spirit, your guide…

In all of life’s difficulties, Remember, Jesus is by your side.

Trust the one you cannot see.

Take heart dear one and simply believe.

Your work is not finished, life is only a test…

Walk in the spirit and let me do the rest! ~Jesus.

1 Peter 1:6-7 New King James Version

⁶ In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, ⁷ that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,
