Psalms 78:18-19 NKJV And they tested God in their heart By asking for the food of their fancy. Yes, they spoke against God: They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

Testing God is putting logic and things we can naturally understand above God’s ability and God’s word.

At some point in our lives, like the children of Israel, we’ve doubted and questioned God’s ability to go beyond our logic and do the impossible.

For instance, some of us have said within ourselves, can God really provide a spouse and children now that I’m 45? Or, can God really provide a house for us with the salary that I’m making?

Some of us don’t even consider the possibility of God doing the miraculous. We just accept what’s in front of us. If it says we have to have a college degree to be promoted, some of us don’t even consider the favor of God working on the hearts of the managers to promote us without a college degree.

We test and doubt God because we don’t want to be disappointed.

If we want to stop testing God and move beyond the fear of being disappointed, we must have faith in God’s miraculous power. Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17). Not just any word of God, but a word to uproot doubt.

If we doubt God’s word that says we’re healed in Isaiah 53:5 because of the diagnoses we just received from our doctor, hearing about the second coming of Christ is not beneficial. We need to be listening to messages on healing and reading scriptures that confirm that we’re healed (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24; Matthew 15:29-30).

Let’s examine ourselves to see if we’re testing God in any area. If so, let’s do the work to magnify the power in His word above everything else.
