Deut. 8:1-20

As one that sets his or her love on the Lord the wind of challenges is blowing, the storm is raging; things are not going the way you would have hoped to see. All of a sudden, without warning or announcement, your life seems not to be going forward. You wonder if you have missed it somewhere or the Lord has turned His back against you. It really does not matter if you have caused it yourself; the fact is God knew you and all that will cross your way even before you were born. He is still in control. If there is guilt of sin, ask Him for forgiveness and He will answer. Take and learn from the situation of the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel. It is clear that their journey of 40 years instead of 11 days was orchestrated by their behavior towards the Living God. However, in Deut.8:2 it is written, Òand you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandment or not.” Does that quote make sense to you? Does yours seem to be the same or different? You are in training to become humble. After the training, He wants to test you so you can have a testimony. Let God see you through; He wants to test you. It is the level of your training and testing, which determines the next level of your assignment in the LORD. God will uphold you; take a hope in Him–enjoy your training.
