The Test - Faith or Fear?

People tend to interpret their illness as divine intervention

When bad things happened to us we asked God, “Why me?”
Maybe we should asked, “Why Not me?”

In the Old Book, Job in his sorrow answered, “Don’t talk like a fool! If we accept blessings from God, we must accept trouble as well.” In all that happened, Job never once said anything against God.

“If I break my leg, I believe it happened for a reason
I believe God allows it to happen.
I also believe he wants me to put a cast on it”

Becoming a Christian doesn’t make you a “saint”
Just like becoming a doctor doesn’t make you a healer
Just because we are Christians and spend our time in prayer doesn’t mean that we won’t fall sick.

As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind since birth.  Jesus’ disciples asked, “Teacher, why was this man born blind? Was it because he or his parents sinned?”
“No, it wasn’t!” Jesus answered. “But because of his blindness, you will see God work a miracle for him.

The fact that I’m still breathing is God’s miracle at work!

These trails only test your faith to see whether or not it is strong and pure. Your faith is being tested, as fire tests gold and purifies it, and your faith is far more precious to the Lord then mere gold. So if your faith remains strong after being tested, it will bring you much praise and glory and honour till the day of His return.

God hasn’t left me – the only thing in the way of me knowing he is there is my fear.
I have a choice – faith or fear? That’s the test.

Choosing faith doesn’t mean that you won’t die
But it will effect how you experience your death and therefore your life – it’s up to you

 “When I lost all hope, I turned my thoughts to the Lord,”
