If you permit God to test you at the beginning, you will stand every trial for a long time. Don't plan to drive a Mercedes jeep as a boy and ride a bicycle in your adult age. Every trial given to you while you are young is made to prepare you for your old, age so that you can proclaim; I was young and now I am old, I have never seen the righteousness forsaken nor their children begging for bread. Patience Johnson
About This Quote

The Bible says, "If you permit God to test you at the beginning, you will stand every trial for a long time" (Psalm 97:2). There are people who are trying to reach out to God but they're not seeking his help. If they tried to reach out to God in the beginning, then they wouldn't have any problems. They would be able to deal with everything that was thrown at them.

It will be easier for them. But if they don't seek God's help in the beginning, then they will have a lot of difficulty trying to handle things later. They may even become discouraged.
