We ourselves say :God tests us , or allows us to be tested, we are admitting that testing does indeed come from Him, as clearly taught in Scripture. Although we are forbidden to test Him (Deuteronomy 6:16: 16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted him in Massah (Matthew 4:7> Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. when God tests His children, He does a valuable thing. David sought God’s testing, asking Him to examine his heart and mind and see that they were true to Him (Psalm 26:2; 139:23). In both the Old and New Testaments, the words translated “test” mean to prove by trial. Therefore, when God tests His children, the purpose is to prove that our faith is real. Not that God needs to prove it to Himself since He knows all things; rather, He is proving to us that our faith is real, that we are truly His children, and that no trial or test will overcome that faith... We are called to not only hear the word of God , but be doers ... and to endure all things Many are not mature in God they act as school children when testing time comes ( they decide to skip ) the class that day .. and of course when the report card is marked they cry woe is me , because then and only then do the have a revelation that ( the course has to be repeated ) well you can not skip being tested by God ! and yes as with any test the tester is silent .....hahhahahaha ..pushing us to use total faith ..he is a Great God ! GODS ELECT
