Stand on the Word of God – Part Two
“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5)

When you need to pass a difficult test or exam or certification. The fear of failing can cause your brain to freeze just when you need your thoughts to flow freely. When you know you have done your best to study the material and prepare yourself, trust God with the outcome and stand on His Word:
‘Trust in the LORD…do good…and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself…in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust…in Him, and He shall bring it to pass’ (Psalm 37:3-5).
‘Call to Me…I will answer…and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know’ (Jeremiah 33:3).
‘He shall call upon Me, and I will answer…I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him’ (Psalm 91:15).
‘The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name…will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you’ (John 14:26).
‘Whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight’ (1 John 3:22).
Don’t be afraid; God will go with you when it’s time to take that test or exam. Long before you prayed, He was already preparing your heart and mind: ‘Before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear’ (Isaiah 65:24 NKJV). So square your shoulders and walk into that exam room knowing God is with you!

Good morning, Tim,
I pray your day has started well.
I am so thankful for the words you write to help bring the Gospel alive for me.
I truly enjoy sharing your insights with the 8th grade boys conversation group after their weekly Confirmation class. The boys often worry about tests of one subject or another and during our ending prayers, they will sometimes pray for good outcomes. Today’s devotional, will be a perfect gift to give them.
God’s Word, given to me through you, is an important part of my daily life.
God’s blessings,
John
