Pass Your Test
When God takes us through tests, it’s not so He would know if we would pass or fail. He’s omniscient. He already knows. And neither are the tests given by Him designed to punish us. On the contrary, they are designed to refine us, humble us, strengthen us, build us, and to prepare us. Through the process of tests, we learn who we are, where we are, and where we need to be. Tests prove what’s in our hearts. (Deuteronomy 8:2) Through our tests, like Abraham, they prepare us for a magnificent promise.
Memory Points:
Temptations = Are birth out of our own desires and are used as tools of Satan to distract and separate us away from God. (James 1:13-15; 1 Peter 5:8)
Tests = Are from God and are designed to promote and elevate us, eventually producing the image of Christ in us and through us. (Genesis 22; Romans 8:29)
Omniscient = The all-knowing, all-wise, all-seeing God… with our best interest at heart.
