I watched the state employee testing the ladders owned by the town’s fire department. He wasn’t testing them to break them but to prove they could withstand the pressure. God does the same for us. Testing proves to us that we can take the pressure.
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him.
For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,
God built you for such a time as this. Don’t buckle. Give it some thought. Be one of those who passes the test.
