Day 208: Test Your Faith

2 Corinthians 13; 1 Chronicles 3-4; Zephaniah 1

Paul tells the Corinthians to test their faith and find out if they are really true to it. He doesn't say exactly how to do that, but I suppose to test your faith would mean to do or think something that is out of your comfort zone. To step out in faith means to be bold, so I suppose it could be something like that. I think we all need to do that once in a while: test our faith in order to see if Christ really is living in us or we are driven by something else.

In Zephaniah, we see a very angry God and we hear of the incredible destruction that will happen to those who do not obey him. He doesn't leave anyone out, and it makes sense because we have all sinned against him and deserve punishment. Those that worship other gods, who abuse their power, who don't believe in God Almighty, who trust in their own wealth--according to the scripture, those are the ones that have to fear the day that God will do this. But God is not unjust. I'm sure we will get to that in the next couple of chapters.
