Grace For You Today! – 7th March 2025
Knowing the Father of Glory causes you to experience His best through His tests!
“Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, ‘Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ Then He said, ‘Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.’”
— Genesis 22:1-2 (NKJV)
Many of us misunderstand God’s tests. We often think that God gives only to take away, as Job believed when he said, “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord!” (Job 1:21). However, this is not God’s nature.
God is not in the business of giving and then taking away. He gives and continues to give!
When God asks us to surrender something precious—just as He asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac—it is not to deprive us but to test our hearts. He wants to see if our love is primarily for Him above all else. Every divine test is an opportunity for promotion, a stepping stone to something greater.
When Abraham passed God’s test, the Lord made an unbreakable covenant with him. Because of Abraham’s faithfulness, his descendants would be blessed—regardless of their own actions. What a powerful reward for obedience!
Similarly, when the Israelites journeyed through the wilderness and found bitter water after three days without water, they reacted with complaints instead of faith. Had they trusted God, they would have received the blessing of lifelong health and healing(Exodus 15:26).
Beloved, every test is designed to bring you into His rest and lead you to His best! Trust Him, and experience the power of passing His test!
Praise Jesus, our RIGHTEOUSNESS!
