The issue for us is simple, it is whether or not we are willing to be the slaves we are.

The tests Satan throws at us are designed to have us rebel at the concept of being under authority, and so we chafe at the restrictions placed upon us by a Holy God. “We can’t eat of that tree? Why not?” – “I can’t have that job. Why not?” – “I have to go through that trial? Why?”

Our tests are not so much designed to see whether or not we can endure difficulties. Our tests are designed to see whether or not we can accept difficulties as the sovereign right of our loving Master.
