Joseph in Egypt. Moses in the desert. Joshua in Arabia. Jesus in the desert. Every major figure in the Bible has been
tested by the sands of time. When your time of testing comes, you too will be
confronted by the sands of time
Joseph endured
separation from his family, but left instructions for his bones to be carried
into the Promised Land. Moses lingered forty years wandering in the
wilderness before finally seeing the Promised Land. Joshua
battled doubters and skeptics before taking possessions of the Promised Land. Jesus
was tempted by Satan for forty days in the wilderness before beginning his
ministry—in the Promised Land.
The sands of time touch everyone. Everyone is tried and tested. It may be a spectacular desert experience or a brief moment in time, but everyone will experience it. And everyone will fail! Why, because this third rock from the sun has been dipped in sin and it contaminates everyone that comes into contact with it: with one exception. There was only one person who touched the sands of time, but the sands of time never touched Him. Jesus was the only one who came to earth and lived a perfect life. He lived a good life to show us that it could be done.
“Looking unto
Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross,despising the
shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider
him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,lest ye be
wearied and faint in your minds.”Hebrews
12:2-3
Bottom line:
When the sands of time swirl around your moments
on this earth be vigilant. BlogPingSite.com
