ARE YOU TESTING OR TRUSTING GOD IN HEAVEN?

“THE SCRIPTURES ALSO SAY YOU MUST NOT TEST THE LORD YOUR GOD.” MATTHEW 4:7

To test our God is much more than trying to get him to do a miracle. To test our God is to insist that He prove that he is trustworthy. Testing God is like looking at today’s problems and saying that a loving God would not allow us to live this way. When we trust in God, we have total confidence in him with the faith that he will help us through all difficulties. When we trust that our God is in total control then we believe that no matter the situation He is with us and will help us. He may not help us in the way we think he should, but we trust that He is in control and will help us to overcome. When Jesus was taken to the highest point of the temple and the devil told him to jump off because God’s angels would protect Him, that was the devil trying to get Jesus to test God. If you have faith, you have trust! If you believe that the Lord has a plan, and you believe in His plan then you have trust in him. The Lord never said that you would have a life without troubles. However, He has offered a way through your troubles. It takes trust in Him and His ways! We should never test Him, but instead, just believe and trust! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
