Topic: Testing God

When we activate our personal faith we must never put God to the test. We want to see God act for us, do for us, intervene for us and we do not allow God to do His will. God's will may not be to act upon your prayers, needs, and wants the way you want Him to act. We must never put God to the test because putting God to the test is like saying to God, "We don’t really trust you or believe in you, so prove yourself to us." What God wants from us is not a test as to whether He will answer or not answer our prayers. What God wants from us is loving devotion that never wavers regardless of how prayers get answered. Unfortunately, the person to be tested is us, not God. Our faith is tested every day. When we pass each day's test there are rewards. The problem is that most of us will have to die in order to collect. Although this idea of dying to collect is not a joke (because it is the truth), it is funny. Many people cannot stand the idea of waiting till they die to collect. Many people want the faith rewards in the here and now, not in the great hereafter.
