Exodus 16:4 (NKJV) Then the Lord said to Moses, \u201cBehold, 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is very interesting. The bread that the Lord rained down was supposed to do what? TEST the people.<\/p>\n

And what was the test?\u00a0To\u00a0see\u00a0if the\u00a0people\u00a0would walk in God’s law or\u00a0not.\u00a0To\u00a0see if they would\u00a0follow His commandments and only collect what he told them to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Have we ever wondered why we haven’t gone\u00a0further\u00a0ahead, or why we are still in the same place?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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\u00a0budging, not even making an effort to try and get it right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If we are in school, and we\u00a0don’t pass\u00a0the test, we usually don’t do well in that subject. Why? Because we haven’t learned all that we needed to learn.<\/p>\n

So\u00a0we have to study\u00a0more\u00a0and 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It could be the\u00a0simplest\u00a0thing that we are missing, because we just don’t want to\u00a0budge on it, and that one thing is holding us back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
