"And we will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them;"
Abraham 3:25
The idea of life being a test was well established before it actually had people on it at all. I think that is an important thing to know and remember because it helps us to remember that this whole life thing isn't just an accident or a side effect of some other purpose. We were the central purpose, and the design of the world is meant to measure us.
Today, let's not use this fact to give ourselves a super-powered case of test anxiety, but let's take the purpose of the world seriously and think about what it means to be here, and what we need to learn from God in order to progress further. God isn't testing us for fun, but for our benefit, so that we can learn to be more like he is, and get that foundation that we need before moving on to more advanced topics. :) Let's remember, honor, and love God, our true teacher, and do as he asks.
