Life can be viewed as a series of tests. When we are young, the tests are not complex. They review the most basic rules and expectations. Will we only take one cookie from the cookie jar as our mother instructed us, or will we take two? Will we clean our room and do our chores?
But as we grow older, the tests become more frequent, and complex. There is also far more at stake should we fail an exam.
God is a master at giving tests. His are always thorough and they are always fair. He knows what He is measuring. He recognizes what it is He wants to bring to the forefront of our lives.
Often when we are in the midst of a divine test, we focus more on the circumstances God is utilizing than we do on the character He is examining. There are times when the issue is not the particular test we are in at the moment but the character and spiritual maturity that is being exposed in the process.
Are you currently undergoing a divine test? What is it revealing? Are you passing, or failing?
