Welch: The One Who Tests


God is the One Who Tests, and He will test you.  Don’t think of final exams and test anxiety.  Think of this test as a way to expose traitors during wartime.  We are potential traitors and don’t even know it.  God tests us because we are so oblivious to the mixed allegiances in our hearts.  The purpose of the test is to help us see our hearts and if they are found traitorous, we can turn back to God.  God is not playing mind games with us, He is forging a relationship. 

Running Scared, p74
