Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test them and see whether they will follow my instructions. On the sixth day they are to prepare what they bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gather on the other days.” (Exodus 16:4-5)
A teacher can’t test on everything that’s in the book. No test will cover everything in the lecture. With that truth in mind, students ask, “Will this be on the test?”
I’ve watched classmates attempt to write down everything spoken in a lecture. I’ve seen highlighter stain every line of a textbook page. How is that helpful? Is everything important? Will everything be on the test?
God tests his people. Will they trust him? Will they follow his instructions? God’s faithful provision is on the test. Did you write that blessing down? Did you highlight that abundance?
Will that moment be on the test?
Whenever you feel like grumbling, it’s a test. Whenever you want to have a heart-to-heart with God, it’s a test. When you desire a come-to-Jesus moment with Jesus, it’s a test.
Is he faithful? Do you trust him? Can you lean on him? Is he dependable?
Those are the test questions. It’s not about what you know about God. It’s not about your performance. It’s not about your potential.
It’s just one question.
Do you trust him?
Waite for it...
