God tested all the time the prophets of old, those who love Him and trusted His word. All the apostles were tested also and they found themselves faultless in His sight. David was so in love of God and he wanted God to test him in any possible. He said......
Test me o Lord and try me, examine my heart and my mind, for I was always being mindful of Your unfailing love and I have walked in Thy love.
Psalm 26.2,3
Obedience to His word seems to always be a key part of Gods testing. He give us things to do and say which makes no sense to us and are not particularly appealing, although they are good for us. Then, He watches our response to see if we are faithful and true to Him. Faithfful Job said something we should say when we are going through a hard time.
Though He slay me, yet I will trust Him. But I will maintain mine own ways before Him.
Job 13.15
Being tested by the Lord is a natural part of being human in complete obedience to His word. So, it is no surprise that being tested is a biblical design pattern.
Jonah was tested inside the belly of whale.
Jeremiah the prophet was thrown in a cistern.
Paul the apostle became blind.
Those who love God.
Will be tested by His hand.
Believe and trust Him.
All the time praise His name.
As it hurts.
It healing may come.
No one will be able to take.
All those blessings that follow.
Faithful Job received wonderful blessings coming from God Himself.
Then God blessed the work of Jobs hands and his possesions have increased in the land.
Job 42, 7,17
