HE PRECEDES YOUR EVERY TEST-

“Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?” This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.”-{John 6:6}

The first man said, “eight months wages … is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little,” in order to feed the multitudes.{John 6:7}. He looked at the situation EVALUATED and concluded, it can’t be done, because he cant see how, therefore it cant, he wrongly concluded! The second was a little bit more “optimistic,” he said there was a lad who had five barley loaves, and two fish, “…but what is that for so many?” He too EVALUATED and concluded, it can’t be done! Why not? Because he couldn’t see how, he wrongly concluded it can’t be done! They both looked at the circumstances, “logically,” EVALUATED, and concluded it couldn’t be done! They Excluded Jesus Christ from the circumstance and took the place of the Almighty in their thinking!!

HE IS PRESENT IN YOUR EVERY TEST;

They failed to relate it to Him who was present. They believed what they “saw” and not Him who had done so much in their presence previously. They came to the wrong conclusion because they “leaned to their own understanding,” and when they and we do that, we exclude Him from the scenario and wrongly conclude-that It can’t be done. Why Not? Because I can’t see how, therefore it can’t! It is living as though He is not present, able, caring, sufficient. He tested them as He does us and we must remember…

In your trial,…

  • I may not know “How,” but I Know WHOM!

In your trial…

  • HE HIMSELF KNOWS WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO!-
  • That is good news, and meant to bring comfort to our mind and soul!

HE PRECEDES YOUR EVERY TEST…

HE IS PRESENT IN YOUR TEST…

HE PROVIDES WHAT IS NEEDED IN YOUR EVERY TEST

Jesus told the disciples what to do and all the people were fed and all were satisfied and there were twelve baskets worth of leftovers. Such was His generosity!

HE IS PRE-EMINENT OVER THE TEST…

What was impossible with the disciples was possible with the LORD Jesus Christ! He can do the “impossible,” He can meet the need! HIs “LORD,”- “Master, Owner,” Sovereign King, God!

HE HIMSELF KNOWS WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO!

Take Hope, and courage from who He is! Read of Him in the Scriptures and look at your own life and how He has met you in the past, where you concluded in the past something couldn’t be done only to see Him do what you deemed impossible:)

Remember Him!

God Bless,
