Testing reveals what is in our hearts and produces a robust faith (James 1:3,12). As we walk with God, we will see and understand that His Word can guide our lives. His Word means life and death, so we must listen for God's promptings. Is God presently testing you in some area of your life? What has the testing revealed? Are you bitter towards God? Or have you come to trust Him more as a result of what you have gone through? As we walk with God, we will start to realize that our lives depend upon His Word. We will see that God's Word should be the most precious thing to have. We must be prepared to listen to God and, thus, be assured of an astounding victory. — Deuteronomy 8:2
