1:3
knowing that the
testing of your faith produces patience.
Bible
Reading for a Year
[bible]psalm106[/bible]; [bible]0luke18[/bible]; [bible]joshu23-24[/bible]
Everyone would be
afraid of exams, problems, or struggles. People usually prefer to hear about
blessings, miracles, success, and victory because those are what make the heart
happy. We don’t realize that all of those things will be obtained as we want to
pass the test, because there are unexpected blessings and miracles lie behind.
A test is used to
measure the quality such as intelligence, skill, and result of learning. It’s
quite similar to a test or final exam in the school to decide whether a student
can graduate or not. Some tests are used for entering university, such as
“SNMPTN”.
A test of life is
like a school exam, taken by students who feel afraid, anxious, and nervous.
Their graduation depends on the result of the exam. That’s why a lot of
students prepare themselves with the best they can. Some join try out and some
join private courses. That’s the art of facing an exam!
Those who are able
to face the exam well would get great results, and those who don’t prepare
themselves well will fail. Therefore, before facing an exam, we need an art to
deal with it—an art of testing our ability.
In some cases, we
could be mentally well-prepared, but we fail to learn some tested materials. In
the other hand, we might have master lots of materials, yet we are not mentally
prepared and then we feel afraid, anxious, and worried. James 1:3 reminds us
that the testing of faith produces patience. The more we are prepared for the
testing, the better the result.
Rejoice
during the testing, believe that there’s greater thing ahead after passing the
test.

Apakah Anda rindu menerima Yesus sebagai Tuhan dan Juruslamat pribadi dalam hidup Anda?
Ikuti doa ini sekarang:
“Tuhan, saya mengakui bahwa saya orang berdosa. Saya membutuhkan Engkau. Saya percaya bahwa darahMu sanggup menghapuskan segala dosa dan kesalahanku. Saat ini, saya mengundang Engkau, Yesus Kristus, masuk dalam hati dan hidupku menjadi Tuhan dan Juruslamatku. Saya menyerahkan hidupku bagiMu dan melayaniMu.
Dalam nama Yesus aku berdoa. Amin”
