For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. Psalms 66:10-11
Psalm 66 is a Psalm of praise and at the same time, it's a reminder that we will be tested. Chrles Spurgeon reminds us in his sermon from 1863, that God tested the Patriarchs: Abraham, Issac and Joseph. He also points out that Jesus was tested, "God’s dear Son, the Captain of our salvation, was, Himself, tested and tested in all things, too! He was thrust into the hottest part of the glowing coals and tested as you and I have never been tested — tested to such an extent as our heart has not conceived! And among the professed followers of Jesus, all the sons of God are witnesses to this Truth, "You, O God, have tested us"
