The Test

However, regarding the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, whom they sent to him (Hezekiah) to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land God withdrew from him, in order to test him, that HE might know all that was in his heart.   2 Chronicles 32:31

Aha!  So the bible is telling us as believers we are tested?  Yes!  Why? To see what's in our hearts.  That right there . ..makes me nervous, but it is necessary so that we repent!  RIGHT!!

Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart; and renew a right spirit within me!

What does that take?  A test!  Oh boy!  The prayer for all of us is to PAST the TESTS! Hey, we may not get it on the first time, maybe second...but we got to PASS right! WHat God shared with me in the story about Hezekiah above, is that we must slow down...ask questions and use the discernment from the Holy Spirit!  Moving too quickly can get us in trouble!  As we review the story of Hezekiah moments before his death, he made a critical move that affected his children and kingdom.

Be blessed in the name of Jesus!
