We presume that we would be ready for
battle if confronted with a great crisis, but it is not the crisis that builds
something within us— it simply reveals what we are made of already. Do you find
yourself saying, “If God calls me to battle, of course I will rise to the
occasion”? Yet you won’t rise to the occasion unless you have done so on God’s
training ground. If you are not doing the task that is closest to you now,
which God has engineered into your life, when the crisis comes, instead of
being fit for battle, you will be revealed as being unfit. Crises always reveal
a person’s true character.
