Bible Verse of The Day – 8-17-17

Exodus 16:4 (NKJV) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not.

This is very interesting. The bread that the Lord rained down was supposed to do what? TEST the people.

And what was the test? To see if the people would walk in God’s law or not. To see if they would follow His commandments and only collect what he told them to.

Have we ever wondered why we haven’t gone further ahead, or why we are still in the same place?

Maybe we are NOT passing the test when it comes to following God’s word to us. Maybe we are missing some steps, things that He has asked us to do. Are we not budging, not even making an effort to try and get it right?

If we are in school, and we don’t pass the test, we usually don’t do well in that subject. Why? Because we haven’t learned all that we needed to learn.

So we have to study more and take the test again, until we pass. And then we can feel confident to move forward. Studying gives us the understanding we need to correctly apply what we learned.

God will sometimes give us little test here and there, to see if we are ready for certain things. Will we pass it or will we have to do it over?

If we feel like we are not getting ahead, and we are stuck in one place, ask God why. Ask Him to help us learn what we need to learn so we can go forward.

It could be the simplest thing that we are missing, because we just don’t want to budge on it, and that one thing is holding us back.
