Abraham
was tested by Adonai, to sacrifice his only son that was of the
covenant with Him. Also being called a friend of Adonai, this request
seems strange until we look deeper. Fiveamprayer, also know this--that
since he was tested by Elohim, why do we think we won't be tested? This
test on Mt. Sinai was to find out how much he loved God to be obedient
to all that He had said. So much so that the angel had to be sent down
to stop his hand from harming Isaac.
We
have another test with the children of Israel in the wilderness, they
were given manna from heaven. With this provision there was instruction
of how much to collect and when it would be available. This test is
also in obedience to His word. Those who gathered extra found in
keeping it until the next day that it would stink and had worms. This
revealed their disobedience was not only evidenced to their household
but to those around them. Also those who went out to collect on the
seventh day, the sabbath found none on the ground. Had they kept double
from the sixth day of collection it would have been fine to eat.
These examples, and many more throughout the Bible are testing us--man to find if we will fear God. This fear is in reverence, obedience that we would be found seeking and keeping the instruction and directions given from on high. Nowadays, we approach the Almighty in any fashion and make any requests of Him. This is really showing what is in our hearts. The further we get into the test, the impurities come up and we can either deal with them or hide them again under the surface. Those He loves He corrects! Thank You Elohim for loving us! Those who belong to Him, are tested by Him. Those impurities have to be removed, for He is holy and we are to be like Him!
To fulfill the purpose that He created you for is seen as perfection to Yahweh. So the question is are you living according to His purpose for your life? We have often spent much time in finding what we want to do with our lives with little regard to what the Lord God has to say about our lives. That the door that He has opened for us--for what He has purposed, we may not walk through due to being distracted in 'finding ourselves'. To hear more from this mornings message click here.
