What does the Bible say about the testing of God's servants?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates that God often tests His servants through various trials to prepare them for their ministry.

In the Bible, the concept of testing is integral to the experiences of God’s faithful servants. For instance, the narrative of Elisha shows that his ministry began with a definitive call from God followed by a series of tests meant to discipline and prepare him for future service. These trials served to solidify his commitment and demonstrate his readiness to prioritize God's work over personal attachments, reflecting the biblical principle that genuine commitment to God may require difficult sacrifices. Each of the seven tests that Elisha faced highlighted the thoroughness of God’s preparation and the character required for effective ministry.
