In this lesson, Testing of a Vessel, we learn, if you truly desire to serve the Lord, in whatever capacity He assigns you, it will be reassuring to understand some of the tests that lie before you.  It will be encouraging to know, that He uses these tests to build and grow you, not tear you down. You can take great comfort also in the spiritual fellowship of the many great servants of God in the Bible and those around you.  For you as a Christian, they are “older brothers,” leaders by example, and the truest “mentors” that you could ever hope to find.
