PAANO MAG TEST ANG DIYOS?

5. By giving opportunities for a choice
(GOD TESTED SOLOMON)
1 king 3
5 Kinagabihan, samantalang siya'y naroon pa sa Gabaon, napakita sa kanya si Yahweh sa panaginip. Ano ang ibig mong ibigay ko sa iyo? Sabihin mo! wika sa kanya.
-sa pauumpisa palang sa pamumuno si Solomon ay kinausap siya ng Diyos to test him.
(GOD TESTED HEZEKIAH)
2 Chronicles 32:31 (2king 20)
And so in the matter of the envoys of the rulers of Babylon, who were sent to him to inquire about the wonder that had happened in the land, *God left him alone only to test him, in order to know everything that was in his heart.*
Psalm 7:9
Ikaw ay isang Diyos na matuwid,
batid mo ang aming damdamin at pag-iisip;
sugpuin mo ang gawain ng masasama,
at ang mabubuti'y bigyan mo ng gantimpala.
Psalms 11:5
5 Ang mabuti at masama ay kanyang sinusuri;
sa taong suwail siya'y lubos na namumuhi.

ILLUSTRATION:
REFINING SILVER & GOLD.

Refiners of silver have their fining pots, in which they purify the silver from the dross; and goldsmiths have their crucibles to melt and purify their gold, by which assays of the worth and value of it may be made.
Why does gold need to be refined?
The purpose of this refining is to remove any remaining impurities.
The hearts of men cannot be searched and known by any human art, but by God only.
He gives man a greater knowledge of himself and the truth, and gives man a greater understanding of God’s will, thus allowing man to have a truer and purer love of God.
Proverbs 17:3
King James Version
3 The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.
Sa bawat pagising natin, naghihintay na agad ang choices mo,
pipiliin mo ba ang maglingkod at sumunod sa kalooban ng Diyos?
Pipiliin mo ba na itaas ang Diyos sa buhay mo?
Sa mga times po na dumadaan tayo sa mga pagsubok, problema, mabibigat na sitwasyon
sino yung pinipili nating lapitan, sanggunian
sa mga times po ng victory natin, nakadikit padin po ba to sa Panginoon, itinaaas ang ngalan Niya, binabalik ang papuri'y parangal sa Kanya?
