Blood tests

My specialists/doctors recommend periodic blood testing I went for one today. Blood testing is one of the most important ways to keep track of our overall physical well-being. Getting tests at regular intervals allow us to see the way our body changes over a time period and empowers us to make informed decisions about our health. Blood tests are taken when we want to optimize our health, when we experience unusual persistent symptoms and when we want to reduce risk of disease or complications. A sample of blood is extracted and the blood is tested in the laboratory for such as cholesterol , blood sugar, liver function, kidney function , basic metabolic panel and glucose tests.

Spiritual testings can be likened to blood testing. They occur periodically, test us for patience, obedience, faith, endurance, compassion, and other qualities in our christian character. They reveal spiritual shortcomings and gaps and even strengths. How have I done spiritually ? Have I been short on patience, obedience or faith. Let’s be guided by these testings and let us be willing to change, grow and glorify the Lord in each test.

Psalm 26 Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide.² Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.³ For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.
