Testing and approval

Yet He knows the way I have taken; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold. Job 23:10

Having beliefs and values that line up with our daily lives is important. Sometimes as we are tested, we find areas that could improve and areas that we need God’s help and grace. The Lord purifies us in our testing times. Job went through what he never expected and yet he kept his reverence for God. I was telling my daughter yesterday that often when I say something that’s what I get tested on by the Lord and that’s what happened yesterday. Keeps us humble knowing we are ordinary people who serve an extraordinary God. Job didn’t do anything wrong that made him have circumstances go so wrong. It was his perspective he was responsible for and he kept confidence in God.

What areas have you felt tested in?

How can you show your reverence for God in your life?

Heavenly Father,

Praise you for knowing everything and that in your testing of me, you refine me. I trust in you Lord Jesus.
