Some believe all trials and test come from God , God made a distenction between trials and temptations and said
Templation and Templation is the devils way of making us react wrongly to a trial that comes from God.
Peter 1- 6/7 ( You should) be exceedly glad on thus account , though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials
and suffer temptations so thr ( genuineness of out faith maybe tested,
Rev 3/ 10, Because yo have kept word of patient endurance , I also will keep you ( safe ). From the hour of trial ( testing )
Which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell on each.

A GOOD QUESTION,MY THOUGHTS ON IT TAKING THE BOOK OF JOB AS MY EXAMPLE satan ACCUSED OUR HEAVENLY FATHER FOR BEING TO GOOD TO JOB SO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER ALLOW satan TO ATTACK JOB ,BUT JOB FRIENDS THOUGHT THAT JOB HAD SINNED ,HIS WIFE WANTED HIM TO CURSE OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND DIE ,BUT AT THE END OF IT ALL JOB ENDURED AND GOD REWARDED JOB WITH MORE THEN HE HAD AT THE BEGINNING ,BUT TO ME THERE IS NO SCRIPTURES ,BUT I CAN BE WRONG AND I WILL DO A STUDY ON IT TO SEE ,BUT I KNOW THERE ARE SCRIPTURES TELLING US ABOUT OUR TRIALS  AND TESTES ,AND THAT WE WILL HAVE SOME BECAUSE WE FOLLOW JESUS (JOHN 16:33,ACTS 14:22),OUR BROTHER  PAUL TELL US ABOUT THEM IN HIS LETTERS ,PETER TELLS ABOUT THEM BUT I DON'T REMEMBER IF EITHER TELL US HOW TO TELL WHICH IS WHAT ,READ THE 119 PSALMS FOR THE AUTHOR THANKS GOD FOR HIS AFFLICTION AT ONE VERSE ANOTHER VERSE HE STATED THAT HE WENT ASTRAY BEFORE HE WAS AFFLICTED SO MY THOUGHTS IS THAT FOR WHATEVER REASONS THEY COME ,THEY ARE USED TO DRAW US CLOSER TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER,BECAUSE IN ALL THINGS HE WORK IT OUT FOR THE GOOD FOR THOSE THAT LOVE HIM AND IT SAYS IN ALL THINGS NOT SOMETHINGS BUT WE JUST HAVE TO TRUST HIM BECAUSE HIS TIMING IS NOT LIKE OUR'S BUT WHEN HE MOVE IT DON'T TAKE HIM NO LONG TIME TO DO WHAT IS HIS WILL FOR US .LOVE YOU MY BELOVED SISTER

We are tempted by our weakness.  As we yield, to God and overcome those things.  We are able to give the Glory to the Lord.  As we go through trials, we are strengthen through and by Grace.  No matter what we are going through, if we strive to give All the Glory to God.  We find that we are humbled, before Him.  In this discovery we are given front row seats to the spectacular Power and Workings of the Spirit, of Jesus, and of God through us.  To bring about such a change in us, that at one time we never thought possible.  Yet, God working with our steps of Faith in Him, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that, He can do all things, that He is able to empower us to do all things through Christ.  Which we desire to offer; give Him all the Praise, Honor, and Glory.  YEA YEA YEA
