Sometime I think God really enjoys testing us. Not in a mean, vindictive sort of way, but in a loving way. He likes to challenge us. To make us think to make us live out our faith. The film Evan Almighty makes this claim very well. Although the movie is spreading a message with some really wacky theology ,"God" (played by Morgan Freeman) does show some wisdom when he says,
" If someone prays for patience, do you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If they pray for courage, does God give them courage, or does he give them opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for their family to be closer, you think God zaps them with warm, fuzzy feelings? Or does he give them opportunities to love each other?"
this is exactly the point I am trying to make. In the midst of the chaos of finals, the stress of finishing school, graduation, he is calling us to patience...
