Whenever I recall my high school and college days, I couldn’t
help but giggle in my room. I am talking
about the days of endless quizzes, exams and other tests. Some were really quiet and serious whiles others were quiet and cheating to their seatmates.Those were the quietest
days I had in my teenage life and I just hated them because I had no choice but
to burn the midnight oil each day before the test.
After I graduated from the university, I thought that would
be the end of the tests in life. I was wrong.
The tests now are even more complicated and challenging more
than I had ever imagined.
We all have our own tests from Him who made and brought us
here on this world.
Just like our beloved teachers back in elementary through
tertiary, they were so quiet during the exams. God is also quiet in our tests in
life but it doesn’t mean that He is far from us nor forsakes us. We need to
remind ourselves that whenever we are in trials or tribulations, God is just
putting exams on us to build and to develop our faith and character towards Him
and towards other people.
So why worry with these tests?
Rather, let us be glad and welcome them in our lives for they
give us opportunities to grow in all aspects especially our spiritual growth.
More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance. (Romans 5:3)
Remember that we don’t belong to this world, but to Him so
let’s be prepared and be still on these tests until the day He comes to deliver
us to the place where we really belong.
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.
(James 1:2)
Would you dare cheat in God's exams for you?
