TESTS: OUR GOD-GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES
JAMES 1:2-6; HEBREWS 11:6; ROMANS 10:17
SESSION 2 - AUGUST 16, 2026
è Trials, Tests: Weights vs. My Faith (Hebrews 11:6; Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:4; Mark 4:15
è Wisdom: God’s Perspective
• We have Natural/Physical Eyes and Spiritual Eyes
è OUR EYE TEST: Our natural, physical eyes: Gates into our spiritual person. (What we see with our eyes (brain) affects our mind (soul).
✸What we keep on viewing with our eyes is critical to the success or failure in our inner person (soul).
è What we fix our eyes on is consequential!
• Matthew 6:22, 23: light and darkness (perspective) “I am the Light”; Jesus! (John 8:12)
è Testing My Eyes! Eyes open paths!
• The path to darkness and destruction (Luke 11:34; Mark 9:47)
• The path of Deception: (Genesis 3:6) Disobedient, destructive pleasure.
• The path of self-righteous judgement (and the blindness thereof) (Luke 6:41,42)
✸Current Tests: Screen time messages!
è Fixing Our Eyes on Jesus! (Hebrews 12:1,2)
• Looking intently, giving attention to: an ongoing discipline!
• Prayer, worship, confession of the Word.
• Conscious prayer for the Lord’s filter on what I continue to view!
• Stop looking in the Rear View Mirror! (Past hurts, failures, etc.)
• Stop the replays!
• Stop rehearsing offences (Ephesians 4:32)
✸Knowledge involves an accumulation of facts. Spiritual wisdom discerns how to apply those facts for a successful result. i.e. I can know that something is true about a situation, but wisdom will direct me into what to say/do, when to say/do, how to say/do.
⍟In the absence of knowing what to do next, focus on what you do know!
