Until the time his prediction came true,
Psalm 105:19, CSB
the word of the Lord tested him.
God is faithful, and He showed that through giving Joseph having and interpreting dreams and then being faithful to save Israel, and ultimately it was shown in His covenant to bless the world. Jesus and His Church are also tested, but Jesus has shown He is the fulfilled promise and faithful witness of God.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:2, ESV
We give God praise, because He made us. We may have rebelled from Him, but He does not leave us to fend for ourselves. He helps us grow in knowledge and relationship with Him.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
James 1:2-3, ESV
The devil goes after those who grow in Christ, so rejoice that God allows him to attack as it shows you are growing in faith and faithfulness with the help of our faithful God.
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
James 1:2-3, ESV
Just as Jesus came and suffered for us, we can expect suffering in this life. It makes us more like Him and may even show we are His through persecution.
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
James 1:13, ESV
God cannot be bargained with, nor does He tempt us. He may allow us to be tested, and He may let us tell, scream, complain, and plead.
He has a plan, is in control, and waits for us to call on Him for help and wisdom.
