Message summary & scripture references
Think about the time when you were in high school. In order to advance to the next grade, you had to pass some tests. In the same way, to advance to the next level in your vision, God is going to give you a test first. In today’s Daily Word, we’ll learn how God tests us to determine if we are ready to advance to the next phase of our calling.
