Abraham Tested
Why does God test us?
He gives her dad Chronic Myeloid Leukemia.
He makes her dad go through a heart op.
He makes her go through a miscarriage, then gives her a child, only to make that child severely sick just after 1 month's joy.
He makes Abraham agree to do the one act that causes the biggest hurt to a parent.
"Then God said, 'Take your son, your ownly song, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about.'"
Genesis 22:2
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
James 1:2-4
"'Do not lay a hand on the boy,' he said. Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son."
Genesis 22:12
"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him."
James 1:12
"I will surely bless ou and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take posession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."
Genesis 22:17-18
Why does God test us?
He gives her dad cancer to heal the cancer of his soul
He makes her dad go through a heart op to open his heart up to Jesus
He takes what is most precious from us so that we will never be in danger of losing what should be most precious to us: our relationship with Him
He breaks us apart so that He can piece us back better
He cripples us so that He can give us wings
And then, we fly back to Him

Hello Elysa!
Ok, I shall look at this without rubbish love stories:
Hmm, memory verses for us? I think these are what I need to know and carry out:
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
James 1:2-4
"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him."
James 1:12
And, our relationship with Him should be most precious to us?
Hee, at least, I learnt something from your post! Haha! =)
Ok another one for you, not that I'm very free..
Well, I really love your discipleship with us, and we really do learn how to be more Godly from those lessons. Thank YOU. =))
Next, pls update me on what I can help for this Sat's Sunday Sch Kids' performance.. Have you all thought about the actions? Need help? Just sms me!
Take care and God Bless you too!
Don't be too stressed over your unexpected assignments, I'm sure you CAN overcome that with God. =)
Ok got to go now, bye!
Hey Venus!
I'm surprised that you and your sis are reading this man.
er...
Thanks for the encouragement, will continue to just serve God and let Him work the magic.
Next, about this week's performance, don't worry unduly, I doubt Siwen will be nutso enough to really go through with the actions. I will print copies of the lyrics for everyone, so don't worry about having to memorise either.
There're no more unexpected assignments... just shoots now. But... I'm learning how to run to Him! Hope you have a good week with our Good Friend too.
