All of us at one time in life will be TESTED. Some more than others depending on what you are asking, praying, and believing God for. God wants to make sure that he can trust you with what you are asking for and that you will do the right things with it especially if it is exceeding abundant finances. Remember what you have you are to give and be a blessing to others and give to enhance the Kingdom of God and spread the word of God. Some tests and trials last longer than others. It is crucial that you handle these tests in the correct fashion meaning you are TRUSTING GOD through it. You continue to have FAITH. GOD is aware that we will not always have tremendous faith especially if the trial has been a long-enduring one, but you must maintain faith the size of a mustard seed which is one of the smallest seeds. Finally, you must BELIEVE that things you are praying for will come to pass. Thriving In Every Season Of Life With God – And It Came To Pass.
One of the most famous tests that is recorded in the bible was Job. The book of Job is 42 chapters. Job became despondent when things started to go wrong for him but in chapter 8, he voiced his faith, trust, and belief in God. It took a while but he was finally rewarded in chapter 42 when it came to pass that God gave him twice the amount of success than what he previously had.

However, I want us to focus on another biblical person Abraham and the ultimate test God put on him. Pay close attention to the first 5 words of this scripture. And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day, Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said unto his young men, abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it upon Isaac his son, and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, my father: and he said, here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, my son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so, they went both of them together. And they came to the place which God had told him of, and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took the knife to slay his son. And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, here am I. And he said, lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him: for now, I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. – Genesis 22:1-18.
