16Do not test the LORD your God as you tested Him at Massah.d 17You are to diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and the testimonies and statutes He has given you. 18Do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, so that it may be well with you and that you may enter and possess the good land that the LORD your God swore to give your fathers, 19driving out all your enemies before you, as the LORD has said.
Exodus 17:1-7 Give us water to drink! ….Why have you brought us out of Egypt—to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?”
“Anytime we deny God’s love for us, or demand He do something for us, we are testing Him as if He must answer to our standards and tempting Him to judge us.” (Guzik)
Matthew 4:5-7 the devil tempts the Son of Man! “throw Yourself down.”
Under the Old Covenant, Israel’s blessing was based on their obedience.
Under the New Covenant, we are blessed by faith in Jesus Christ.
Are you testing or trusting?
Blessings
