The Training Necessary for Heaven... But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold. (Job 23:10) The Lord will work for those who put their trust in Him. Precious victories will be gained by all who are faithful. Precious lessons will be learned. Precious experiences will be realized that will be of the greatest advantage in times of trial and temptation. When you give all the glory to God, not taking credit to yourself, you shall be trusted with more and more of the blessing of God. The Lord is magnified by those who honor Him in the midst of others. The trial that has been borne with patience, the test that has been met with faithfulness, will prove you worthy of responsibility, and God will make you an agent to carry out His will. The conflicts of earth, in the providence of God, furnish the very training necessary to develop characters fit for the courts of heaven. We are to become members of the royal family, the sons of God, and “all things work together for good” to those who love God, and submit themselves to His will. Our God is an ever-present help in every time of need. He is perfectly acquainted with the most secret thoughts of your heart, with all the intents and purposes of your soul. When you are in perplexity, even before you open to Him your distress, He is making arrangements for your deliverance. Your sorrow is not unnoticed. He always knows much better than you do, just what is necessary for the good of His child, and He leads you as you would choose to be led if you could discern your own heart and see your necessities and perils, as God sees them. Unfortunately, finite beings seldom know themselves. You do not understand your own weakness.... God knows them better than you, and He understands how to lead you. If you will trust Him, and commit our ways to Him, He will direct your steps in the very path that will result in your obtaining the victory over every evil passion, and every trait of character that is unlike the character of our divine Pattern.
