"But He knows the way I take; when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside." -Job 23:10-11 (NASB)
Testing and results are part of teaching and learning. In recent history, the tests have come to mean a lot more to students' and teachers' futures than they have in the past. In many schools, preparing for testing has taken on a whole meaning and importance of its own. While arguments can be made for and against testing in our schools, we need to be prepared for tests in our lives and spiritual education.
Job was one person who endured more than his fair share of testing. Job was a faithful servant to God and both God and the devil noticed. As we consider our lives, we should long for God like Job did. We should talk to God and try our best to stay on His path so we can emerge as gold. We should hold onto God, not turning aside, even when things don't look the best from our point of view. God is always with us and He will see us through!
Rely on God so you are always prepared for a test!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for loving and supporting me. Help me to stay close to You with my feet on Your path so I can pass any test I face in life. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
