Test

Satan has been on my butt lately... dont know why, but I'm telling you - he's been throwing some stuff at me lately. The kind of stuff that makes you questions things, question paths your on, question what your doing.

I was talking about some of these things with a friend, & he said to me "Maybe your being tested?"


I thought - dang, I always hated tests! Even in school!!!


But I can see what he's talking about - don't you feel sometimes like Job - that God gives permission sometimes for Satan to tempt us & that God sees what we're made of?


And I thought about tests - even though I've been out of school for awhile - I can remember them! What did you have to do to pass a test - you had to STUDY! You had to PREPARE! You had to be READY!


Did you ever forget a test was coming & you have that panic feeling of, "How am I going to make it through?" - or you just sort of gave up & just expected to fail, as you circled all the "C's" - isn't that they said the average answer is - the letter C?


And can you remember the difference when you were ready for that test? You went in & sat in the chair with a straight back - just asking for the paper - with a sort of attitude like "Let's do this - I got you!"


So Mr. stupid Satan... I'm digging deeper - I'm reading my Bible even more, even getting some advice from the MAN himself... so bring it on! I'm ready for any test! And I'm prepared to PASS! NOT FAIL!


You ready for a test? Let me tell you - if you havent had a test of any kind lately that challenges you, I bet a Pop Quiz is headed your way!

    As Christians, we are constantly being tested and we have to stay on our toes with our noses in THE BOOK! Hang in there, girl...I have complete confidence that you'll pass the test with flying colors!

  9. When it comes to tests I always think about when someone is setting up a stage and they want to make sure the audience will be able to hear them. They say something like, "Testing, testing, 1,2,3, testing."

    I sometimes think God does that in order for us to hear him better.

    He goes through the testing process because he wants to make sure we hear him!
