Today there will be a pop quiz - Psalm 9-11

Psalms 11:5 - "The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked, and the one who loves violence His soul hates." If you are a believer or an unbeliever understand this: There will be a test today!! The Lord test BOTH the righteous (those who have put their trust in Christ) and the wicked (those who DON'T trust Christ). The question is not whether there will be a test. The only question is if you know the answer. The test can come in many forms. Maybe it will take the shape of a health dilemma. For men it might look like a women (Proverbs 7). For some it might look like a time to worry (Matthew 6). Still for others it might look like a time to fear. Christ was tempted three ways (Matthew 4). God test the hearts of men. James says His test bring a certain trial, that when overcome will produce a crown (James 1:12). God tested Abraham (Genesis 21:1). The fact is both will be tested, but, God promises deliverance to those who trust in Him and His son. In Psalm 34:19 we read that God delivers "us" (believers) from the trials of life. In Romans 7 Paul asks, "Who will deliver me from the power of this death?" He answers in thanks that Christ will deliver believers. There will be a test today. It will take on many forms. But, the answer is the same for ever form, shape and experience: Jesus Christ and Him cruicified.
