Tested Heart
2 Chronicles 32:31
But when envoys were sent by the rulers of Babylon to ask him about the miraculous sign that had occurred in the land, God left him to test him and to know everything that was in his heart.
I think, without researching it, that this probably has to do with the time(s) Hezekiah gave away all the silver and gold from the Temple in an attempt to save the country and himself. But isn't this how it's going to go most of the time? Testing time comes, and it's all flesh, all of the time.
Sifting. That's what Jesus called it. And I would define it pretty high up there, as a situation that puts you in fear of your life. This is not whether or not to give back the extra change at the store. Nevertheless. I think this kind of heart test can be passed, with sufficient study and practice.
