I remember when I first started my walk with God and how fired up I was🚶🔥. It seemed as if EVERYTHING I prayed for God answered!!! I felt His presence like never before!!!😇 And then time past, and I felt as if I couldnt feel His presence at all!!!😧 My world was falling apart, I was praying (no answers), I was fasting (no results), I was crying out to God (no reply). I couldnt quite understand it.😔 Then I remembered a scripture I once read that said God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you!!!😳 Im thinking well where is He? And why would He allow me to go through all this crap!!!😤 Then I realized that He was TESTING me!!!😨 Its easy to worship God when things are going great in your life. But when times get hard, how do you worship Him then? What do you do when God seems a million miles away? How do you praise God when you dont understand whats happening in your life? How do you stay connected in a crisis without communication? How do you keep your eyes on Jesus when theyre full of tears?😢 Give up??? YOU DO WHAT JOB DID!!! When God tested Job, Job didnt understand, but he kept his faith. He fell to the ground in worship and said “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.” Job said God may kill me, BUT STILL I will trust Him😳 Talk about crazy faith!!! To mature your relationship, God will test it with periods of seeming seperation-times when it feels as if He abandoned or forgotten about you!!! But He hasnt really left you!!! The deepest level of worship is praising God in spite of pain, thanking God during a trial, trusting Him when tempted, surrendering while suffering, and loving Him when He seems distant!! When youre going through a rough time, and God seems to be nowhere around, trust Him to keep His promises!!! Look past your feelings and patiently wait on Him to mature you!!! Remember it is ONLY a test, and the teacher is ALWAYS quiet during a test😉 u may be in the fire but youre coming out GOLD!!!🌟 God bless #CDjr #MrNoDaysOff
