Psalm 26:2 - Test me, O Lord, and try me, examine my heart & my mind
Deuteronomy 8:2 - to test you in order to know what was in your heart
II Corinthians 8:8 - to test the sincerity of your love
I Thessalonians 5:21 - test everything, hold on to the good
I John 4:1 - test the spirits to see whether they are from God
I've never liked tests. But it seems the Bible even tells us to ask God for testing. Testing reveals what's in us, what we have learned, or if we have learned. We should not be afraid of tests, but eager to learn from them. A new paradigm: We can learn from tests. Test me O Lord and show me my heart's end is to love You and others.
