What’s In Your Present Time

Hebrews 3:8, Harden not your heart as in the provocation in the day of temptation in the wilderness. Do not harden your hearts as happened in the rebellion of Israel and their provocation and embitterment of me in the day of testing in the wilderness. Disobedience is a way or means of testing God and your heart grows away from God. Go through the test and go through loving God and you are sure to grow out of that testing stage. Understand what testing is for going on concerning you. Every thing we go through is not for us, but for someone else’s growth.

Testing, requiring maximum effort or ability, usually the most difficult times in your life, the hardest problems will find out your true stand to God where you are. Are you in this for eternal life or for what you can obtain in this present time and passing the test allows one to advance to the next level. It is critical examination, observation or evaluation.

Testing is for:
1. Proof of conformity to a set of beliefs, measuring capabilities.
2. Measuring skill, knowledge
3. Identifying character
4. Measuring intelligence or aptitude

Testing times strip you of things you do not need for this journey.

There is a waiting place for you

II Peter 3:7, but the Heavens and the Earth which are now by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and the perdition of ungodly men. Heaven and Earth may pass away but God’s Word will always stand, you can only grow in the present time in his Word, which is eternal.

Romans 8:18, for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us

Have you been stripped down and ready to serve out your time here on earth out of a pure heart for God’s purpose?

Before we can properly serve him in this present time we must die to ourselves now, today and tomorrow. The present means God exist in your life and you are going through a process everyday with God in view or at hand existing in something mentioned or under consideration, constituting the one actually involved doing this time. God is in control of the suffering, the state of experience of one that suffers death, distress, or pain, and realizing this you submit to it or be forced to endure it, to put up with things that is not conducive to the flesh, undergo loss, damage, or misery. How you will grow out of these situations depends on what your expectations are. Expectations is the act or state of expecting, anticipation, expect, hope, look, await some occurrence or outcome, high degree of certainty of some thing happening, confidence or the assurance in the possibility for what you desire and long for will happen.
