Interesting thought, that we are here all for the sake of a test (on us). Have you considered that the purposes of God are not so much to do with proving human ability, but much more about God's ability ... Perhaps God's desire for us has less to do with making life easy, and more to do with creating a people that are holy and blameless, and like Christ Jesus. Be patient, God is not done his work in me yet ...
How true, that the death of Jesus is our salvation and the price of our sin; how much more, then, is our hope in his resurrection! How great his love and power!
