Tried and True!
Beloved, are you in that number? Are you counted worthy, to be tried and tested?
If you are going through something right now, something that tries your very core and tests your eyes of Faith, then the Bible says you are beheld by the Almighty. He is keenly watching over you and loves you. Don't believe me? You think, "How is this possible, that I'm favored and have the attention of The Holy One, when everything seems to be shaky and uncertain?

Well I just want to share with you and encourage you with a couple verses that The LORD brought to my attention regarding this. He reminded me, that His eye is fixed upon the righteous and upright, and He tries the reigns of our hearts to see if there is obedience and a commitment unto Him. He knows we have an enemy and He has also totally conquered him. He's allowed that very enemy to exist, for our learning.
We learn more about ourselves in the fiery trials and through the opposition we face, than in the smooth waters of life. And we learn the absolute Faithfulness and Authority our Heavenly Father has over everything.

Psalm 11
In the LORD put I my trust: how say you to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
For look, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow
upon the string, that they may privately shoot at the upright in heart. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
The LORD is in His Holy Temple, the LORD's Throne is in heaven: His eyes behold, His eyelids try, the children of men. The LORD tries the righteous: but the wicked and him who loves violence His Soul hates. Upon the wicked, He shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: For the LORD loves righteousness; His Countenance does behold the upright.

Remember this and plant it deeply within your heart, beloved of the LORD. Consider Who is watching over you, always, but also His authority and reason. Your trial(s), are part and parcel of His love and His blessings upon you. He is not
patiently trying the wicked. He is working something great, in you!

James 1:2-3

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

1 Peter 4:12

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial, which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you.
