Deuteronomy 13:1-4

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

“If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him…”

Deuteronomy 13:1-4

Isaiah 48:10 – Triple Play :-)

Monday, March 24th, 2008

God says:

“Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.”

Isaiah 48:10

Reading this verse this morning immediately made me think of this one:

“The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the LORD tests the hearts.”

Proverbs 17:3

My thoughts this morning are on how the Lord tests our hearts, but does so through the afflictions we suffer – which brings to mind what James said:

“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”

James 1:2-4
Have a productive Monday!
