k la. here's a lil sth for he people with exams,
its a bit lengthy, but do read till the end!
"Entering the examination hall without any idea on what's the criterion or subject being tested is equivalent to running on to the battlefield without a rifle.
Exams can be said to be a constant in a student's life. It is an annual ordeal, but even more importantly, we must understand that it is allowed by God. Thus the questions to ask, are why are we being examined and what are we being examined about?
An examination by definition is a test to see if we have acquired a certain level of proficiency in something. Thus, the purpose of an examination is always to serve as a gauge, both used by God and by man. Yet the standards of gauging by man and God differ.
Already answering why we are being examined, now we need to answer "what are we being tested on?” We need to know what we are being tested upon, in order to pass; hence this is an important question. The clear distinct fact is that schools examine our knowledge, but God examines our character.
Understand this; God's main aim is not to make us smarter. After all, knowledge of this world is not of much value, considering God's eternal kingdom. In fact, through our studies, we are merely understanding what God has concluded. HELLO. God made the world. If he's so obsessed about us learning how it works, he would have given us a textbook, not a BIBLE. Besides, if God wanted to use exams to test our level of intellect, God would be practicing favoritism with those that he created with a higher aptitude for learning.
God uses exams to bring out to light our true character. He's testing us in discipline, diligence and perseverance. If we cannot even be disciplined to study for an exam which is the basic responsibility of a student how can we then be disciplined to shepherd our sheep? If we cannot even study diligently, how will we be able to serve God diligently? Our character is reflected off simple things such as these.
Get this straight: This isn't an examination of intellect; this is an examination of character.
Our examination hall isn't the school hall, it's our daily life
Our examination duration isn't the scheduled time of the paper; it's the months leading up to the examination.
Our exam doesn’t end when the time's up for writing; our exam ends when the time is up for our preparation.
Our pass isn't in our marks; it's how we fared in the eyes of The Almighty.
He's not asking for top grades, He asked for top character.
Just do your best, for by doing that, you have already passed God's test." God Bless!
