Tests 💛⚱️
Job 23:1-3, 8-10  Then Job answered and said, Even to day is my complaint bitter…. Oh that I knew where I might find him (God)! That I might come even to his seat! Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; And backward, but I cannot perceive him: On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: But he knoweth the way that I take: When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
All of us have tough situations that we don’t understand. We ask the Lord, “Why?”
When we respond to them with a despair and fear, we get bitter.
When we respond with a desperation for God, we get closer to God.
The trials the enemy may mean to crush us — that God has allowed (by the way) — have a way of bringing us to our knees in prayer.
This is a good thing!
God reveals things in us through the refining fires of trials that doesn’t reflect His image very well. He allows our imperfections to come to the surface and stare us right in the face so we will give them to Him for cleansing and forgiveness.
Often, times of trials and testing spur revival. Perhaps it has been a while since you have allowed God to search your heart. Get close. Ask Him if there are things you’re doing he doesn’t like. Ask Him if there are things you aren’t doing that you need to do.
He knows the path you’re on. He knows if you’re facing a tough time, and you are not alone. There is a purpose in the pain. When He has tested you, you will shine like gold.
Mark your calendar! đź—“
Exciting things are coming to Crosspoint! See below for several of these opportunities to serve and grow together. Be sure to save the dates and be a part.
June 26
Get Ready to GROW - 7:00 PM
God has blessed us with some tremendous opportunities! So many have been saved, baptized, and added to the church family over the last year.
We are excited to see all that the Lord has been doing, and we want to remain committed to allowing our church to be available for all He is going to do. Sustainable growth does not happen in churches that are not prepared. We need to make room for God to work— literally.
Join us on Wednesday nights for the next few weeks as Pastor Phillip teaches us how we at Crosspoint are preparing to grow. We will discuss our schedule, how to serve, and how to support the momentum that will come as we launch two Sunday morning services.
Learn more about this important opportunity!
