Pop Quiz

Tests and quizzes are a part of life, whether we are in school, or in a job, we are always being tested.

The tests we face in our day to day lives are tests of character. Am I honest with myself and others? Do I take my time to do a task, and make sure that task is fully completed?

When I was a student, I hated tests, I thought the tests I took was made to show me how un-academic I was. I struggled with spelling and grammar, math was not my forte, neither were science or social studies. What I failed to realize then, was that these tests were just as important to the teacher as they were for me as a student.

The tests were not to show me that I was not a good academic, but to show me what I needed to work more in, where I needed to be more diligent in my life.

Just as we are tested academically, we are tested spiritually. When we are tested spiritually, it’s not so God knows if we are ready to move on, but for us to be able to grow, so we can take that next steep when God tells us to.

Psalm 139:16 says, “. . . all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” God knows every detail of our lives, before He laid the foundations of the earth, He knew every detail about each one of us.

I still don’t like tests, I don’t like giving them, I don’t like grading them, but I like that I can see where my students need help, and I can watch them grow, just as God watches me grow.
