Tests are never wasted. God never says. "Oops, made a mistake on that one. I shouldn't given you that. I meant that for Frank, Sorry Bob" It's as if the Lord has our name on specific trials. They are specifically designed for us, arranged with our weakness and our immaturity in mind. He bears down and doesn't let up. And we groan and we hurt and we weep and we pray and we grow and we learn. Through it all we learn to depend upon His Word.
The common response to trials is resistance, if we not outright resentment. How much better that we open the doors of our hearts and welcome the God-ordained trials as honored guests for the good they do in our lives.
