Maturity- Can be tested

God always has a solution

Could it be you want that problem to end quickly and yet it is a tool to mature you? The enemy throws curve balls in our lives, to oppress us, hinder us and stop us. That’s his job, but do you also know that God can use those things for our good. So many times people, come into despair because of a difficult situation, depression, ineffectiveness and become hopeless because they see no way out. We must understand that God always has a solution to everything we encounter or what is happening in our lives. When your faith fails, use the faith in Him and in the name of Jesus. Our perspective and our mindset play a significant role in our next move or what happens in the situation. Seeing things through the eyes of defeat can magnify the problem but seeing things through the finished work of the cross can propel you to greater strength and hope.

Instead of seeing your problem or what you are going through why not see it as a training ground for the renewing of your mind, exercising authority, for growth maturity and entering new dimensions. Maturity can be tested! I was blessed by the passage below. It says enemies (nations ) were left so that the children of Israel who were born after the war might be taught to know war. It was also a test to see if they would obey God. Does your situation pull you away from God or push you to Him. It is so easy to choose Jesus when things are great but real faith and the right choices are done in the most difficult times, The choice you make shows the truth in your heart. Are you still choosing Him and his ways when encountering difficulties? Remember maturity can be tested.

*The Nations Remaining in the Land* 3 Now these are the nations which the Lord left, that He might test Israel by them, that is, all who had not [a]known any of the wars in Canaan 2 (this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it), 3 namely, five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who dwelt in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath. 4 And they were left, that He might test Israel by them, to [b]know whether they would obey the commandments of the Lord, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. – Romans 8:28 (NIV)
