And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away.. (Luke 8:13)Expect the Test
Being a Christian does not mean that we will not have trials and temptations. However, whatever temptation we face God will always provide a means of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). The trials we face (go through) is a refining process to prove us genuine resulting in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed (1 Peter 1:7).
The Greek word for testing is "peirasmos". It means trials (God) to make us stand and temptations (Satan) to make us fall.
Psalm 126:5-6 tells us that those who sow God's seed in tears will reap with shouts of joy!
Beth told us to be genuine. Our kids don't expect us to be perfect but they do expect us to be real!
The testing is God's way, through the Spirit, to refine us into a "woman of substance" that will live a life of maximum impact.
