A great Passage from the book of Judges speaks to our lives today:
The Test from Andy Addis on Vimeo.
Judges 3
1 These are the nations the LORD left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan 2 (he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience)
What are the lessons here?
1. Sometimes its not the devil
2. God will test His own
3. God wants us ready to fight
Whoa…I needed to be reminded of all this today. It reminds me of James telling us to consider it pure joy when you face trials. I have to admit that my training regimen isn’t always what it needs to be. How can I be ready to fight if I’m lazy in training?
