Seed for Aug 7

Tests come in our lives. The Word said to count it all joy when we are tested and tried, because our faith is being made perfect. Since God knows everything, then there is nothing in us that He does not know. He knows every prayer we pray and even why we ask. He knows what our true motives are in all that we do. There is nothing that is hidden from Him. But the Bible says a man’s heart is desperately wicked and who can know it? Well, God knows our heart, no matter how we disguise our true motives. The purpose of trial and test is to show us, not Him, what is within. I am tested and tried so that I might see what I am really made of. As the fiery trials come they show me what is within me. The Lord’s desire is to show me what is of me and what is of Him. The Lord wants me to see the areas that I still have a stronghold and have not yielded to the Spirit. So rejoice when you fall into different trials that you can see what God already knows. Rejoice that we have not only victory over the sin, but also we have victory in this life. We have read the last chapter in the Book and we shall win. We will inherit this earth!
