Did you finish high school? How about college? Maybe even graduate level work? If nothing else, there was most likely one common denominator in each of the three levels of education....tests. I discovered in my three jaunts in education that there are those that do tests well, and there are those who don't do tests so well. In high school I hated tests, and didn't do well. In college I did ok with tests, but didn't look forward to them. In graduate school, I really liked tests, and did well at them. I can only attribute that growth in test taking to maturity. What is similar in each grade level of tests? The teacher is quiet when the students are taking those tests. They want us to do well, so they don't distract us....but they are available if we have questions.
As in school, life itself is full of tests isn't it? For example:
- we can easily find our patience being tested
- we can feel that our spirituality is being tested
- we sense that our emotions are being tested at times
- sometimes we are sure that our relationships are being tested
- and, at times, even our sense of self worth is tested
What do you do when you know that your are in the middle of a life test? How do you handle it? Do you go to the Teacher with questions as you try to sort it out? Do you ask for help?
He's always there...quiet, but there....and waiting for us to meet Him at that quiet spot where we can share what concerns us with Him.
