All of us have had #tests in #school to show our retention of the facts that were relevant to that academic #achievement.  What about other unforeseen tests that pop up in our lives?  How do you handle the unknown?  Blow outs, unexpected illness, storms, floods, and death are just a few of the many trials we face in this life.  Where do you turn?  Does God test us?  What does His Word tell us?  Ps. 66:10,11 “For thou, O GOD, HAVE PROVED US; THOU HAVE TRIED US AS SILVER IS TRIED.  Thou brought us into the net; thou laid affliction upon our loins.”  Moses said unto the people Exodus 20:20 :”Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that His fear may be before your faces that you sin not.”  David said in Ps.17:3  “Thou Lord has proved my heart; and thou visited me in the night; thou has tried me.”  So now what is your response to the trials?  I pray that we will respond to Paul’s plea in Romans 12:1,2 “I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God,  that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  And be not conformed to this world; but by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
