Trial » The lord trying
And I will bring that surviving third through, testing them as if through fire, purifying them like silver, assaying them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, "This is my people,' and they will say, "The LORD is my God.'"
The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold but the LORD assays hearts.
"The heart is more deceitful than anything. It is incurable who can know it? I am the LORD who searches the heart, who tests the inner depths to give to each person according to what he deserves, according to the fruit of his deeds.
And I know, God, that it is you who searches the heart and you who finds pleasure in righteousness. With a righteous heart I have freely given all these things, and now I have seen all of these people of yours giving freely and joyfully to you!
Examine me, LORD, and inspect me! Test my heart and mind.
Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. For you are the righteous God who discerns the inner thoughts.
The LORD is in his holy Temple; the LORD's throne is in the heavens. His eyes see, his glance examines humanity. The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence, he hates.
