Tests

Life is chock full of tests.

Some are written, some are oral.

Some are graded, some grant credit.

Some bring smiles to people's faces, other's bring tears of sorrow.

Some we go through on a daily basis, others are once in a lifetime...or come and go.

Regardless of the kind of test, we all deal with 'em.


In light of dealing with some various kinds of tests myself, I hope my response will be a positive one. I hope the light of Jesus will shine through me...even on days when it might be really hard to do so. I hope God will get a lot of glory.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
(James 1:2-6, NIV)

Amen.
