Like Tests?

Everybody loves tests right? I'm not so sure about that, but what I do know is that they are beneficial. Webster's defines a test as, a procedure, reaction, or reagent used to identify or characterize substance or constituent." Essentially, a test can simply show what you're made of and what you believe. I think one reason people dislike tests is because they don't want to see how they'll do with it. But in all honesty tests are a part of life. Some tests are big and can carry big consequences, while others may not be as big. Tests will come in all shapes and sizes. When you go through a test who and what do you lean on? I'm thankful that for every test I go through I have 2 things going for me. Firstly, I have the Lord and He knows what I can handle. Secondly, I have faith. A faith to completely trust in Him through my test. I can't imagine going through a test without either of these in my corner. I'm reading a book right now about the tests all leaders must go through from time to time. I wouldn't call it a fun book, but it's very real and encouraging. I know that in my lifetime many tests await me, but I also know that with God and faith I'll make it through :)
