When we talk about tests, we often think about tests in school, or maybe a road-test. Tests are designed for us to prove ourselves, to show our knowledge, our skill, or our worth, and by doing so, earn the grade, the position, or the license we desire. Importantly, testing is rooted in binary in nature. Regardless of demerit points or a range of letter grades, testing boils down to passing or failing. You either make the grade, or you miss out. Does God test in the same manner?

Taking a Leap of Faith: Did I do it wrong?
Do leaps of faith ever go wrong? Are they always positive? Does a leap of faith ever land us in a place we would rather not be? Lately, I overheard someone describe taking a “Leap of Faith” and how the result was better than they ever could have imagined. As they described it, taking this leap lead them into untold blessings, glories, and an acceptance of their God-given purpose. I try not to be cynical, but I have found that when one’s faith experiences seem too good to be true, it probably is.
