We're Being Tested...

"Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test. You are always being tested. God constantly watches your response to people, problems, success, conflict, illness, disappointment, and even the weather! He even watches the simplest actions such as when you open a door for others, when you pick up a piece of trash or when you're polite toward a clerk or waitress".

Read this one time in a book that I was reading and it stuck with me... can you imagine how many different test we are given on a daily basis... how many test we fail and how few of them we pass... yet each day were allowed to go through different test again... sometimes we are even given the same test daily, weekly, jus over and over again and we fail each time... how long would it take for us to finally realize that were being tested, so that we could finally try and pass the test... I know myself, I fail daily... each day is a struggle, but I'm grateful that God gives me another chance... even though I take it for granted I really am grateful and I believe He sees that in my heart that I'm trying and that I'm working at changing things in my life... I know I can't do it on my own but with Him anything is possible... He'll always be there to guide and pick me up when I fall no matter how many times I fall...

Imagine how you/I react to when it rains... how upset or unhappy we are that its raining but God knows why He brings on the rain... we may not understand but He sure does...  think about how quick we were to react towards our parents when they came at us about something and we lashed out at them... I wonder how God feels when He sees us react to them this way... we must remember the devil does not see our thoughts but he feeds off our reactions and feelings so he uses those things against us... when were fighting against ourselves over a temptation or a thought were usually fighting our conscience... we need to try harder to over come the battle with self and start seeing the bigger picture... all we have to do is realize that we aren't in this allow and that we do have someone that can handle it all for us... without giving it as much as a thought, He's already got us... so remember that your being tested... maybe even while your reading this... you jus never know when the next test will be given... so always be ready!
