Time of Testing

Listen to this blog.

You obeyed my message and endured. So I will protect you from the time of testing that everyone in all the world must go through.

I am coming soon. So hold firmly to what you have, and no one will take away the crown that you will be given as your reward.

Revelation 3:10-11

The Bible clearly says that before Jesus returns there will be a worldwide "time of testing." The exact timing and specifics of that "testing" may be debated, but the offer of being protected from it is not in doubt. Jesus said that obeying His message and enduring will result in our being protected from that time of trouble.

So how do you get ready for the difficult days ahead? Is it wise to make preparations for shortages of food and water? Of course it is, but there is a preparation that is much more important and effective. Prepare for those days by being obedient to Jesus and enduring in that obedience.

If I could choose between being the richest man in the world when the trouble hits, or being the poorest, but obedient to Jesus Word, I would choose to be the poorest. That man is the one who is promised protection from the storm. The other man will ultimately run out of supplies.

Search the scriptures today for a Word from Jesus that you can obey. Then let tomorrow come, you will be ready!
