Imagine your son has a spelling bee contest in a few weeks and you are training him for it and testing him and he is working hard and struggling with it every day. Then one day you have a dream of the future and saw that he won. So now that you now know he will win should you no longer keep training and testing him?Of course you should keep going since it is very likely that the training and testing he is going through is the reason why he is going to win.Same thing happens with God, just because he can see the future and see that you will be loyal to him does not mean that your loyalty no longer has to be tested since it is likely that the struggle you will go through to remain loyal to him is what will fortify your loyalty and righteousness and make it what God saw it will be. So more than your loyalty or your righteousness being tested its more like its being polished and refined. You just have to trust him and keep obeying his commands. That struggle and that pain and suffering you're going through to stay in his path is the resistance that is making your righteousness and faith in God stronger, just like a muscle gets stronger by the resistance put on by the weights. If instead of wondering why God doesnt just alliviate your struggle, you just trust him and keep walking his righteous path despite the suffering you experience, in the end you will come out a better person. You will be refined like gold that is made pure when put through the furnace.God is just trying to make you worthy of his blessing, he is training you to win.
