“May God continue to bless us, so that all the ends of the earth will fear Him.”
Psalm 67:7 CJB

“For You, God have tested us, refined us as silver is refined.”
Psalm 66:10 CJB

God does allow tests to happen to us, that is one of the ways He refines us! We get to make choices and decisions! Do we make the right ones? Like the children of Israel, they had a choice to make in Numbers 25, to sin or not to sin. They made the wrong choice, but Phinehas did the right thing, which refined the children of Israel!

“Pinchas the son of El`azar, the son of Aharon the Cohen, has deflected My anger from the people of Israel by being as zealous as I am, so that I didn’t destroy them in My own zeal.”

“Then Pinchas stood up and executed judgment; so the plague was checked.”
Psalm 106:30 CJB

Today, we all need to be making right decisions in trials and watch how God uses our decisions to help refine us!

“In My Father’s house are many places to live. If there weren’t, I would have told you; because I am going there to prepare a place for you. Since I am going and preparing a place for you, I will return to take you with Me; so that where I am, you may be also.”
John 14:2-3 CJB

Today, let’s rejoice in the fact that God has chosen us to be with Him!
Have a blessed day!

“Suddenly God shoots them down with an arrow, leaving them with wounds; their own tongues make them stumble. All who see them shake their heads.”
Psalm 64:7-8 CJB

In the Old Testament, the idea of God shooting arrows can be anything from deadly diseases, bondage from governments or natural calamities, usually bought on by the worldly decisions made by people!

“But if you will not do this, then you have sinned against Adonai, and you must understand that your sin will find out.”

People and society can and do fall into captivity when they make ungodly decisions! Bad choices can lead to God using the very disasters that man created to correct us!

“Heal me, Adonai, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for you are my praise.”
Jeremiah 17:14 CJB

Today, even though we may go through a season of captivity by our bad choices, and are disciplined because of them, remember God is always faithful to heal and forgive!
Have a blessed walking in God’s forgiveness!
