When my children were small and I spent every waking minute with them I knew each so well that I would know exactly how they would react to a situation. I knew what they’d say or if they misspoke I know what set of circumstances had distracted them. I knew when they got in trouble and how long it would take for them to own up to it.

I’ve heard my friends say the Lord tests them. I think the Lord already knows. The idea, ‘to be tested’ is so we know how we’re doing as if we’re studying for the Olympics.  nancymauerman.com
