The Word of God
And 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 commandments or not. “So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD. “Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. Deuteronomy 8: 2-4
Two things to hang onto this morning:
1) even when the Lord tests you, He will provide for your needs,
2) we require more than physical provision.
God tested the Israelites to see if they would keep His commandments, but in the midst of the testing He provided Manna from heaven to feed them and ensured that their garments did not wear out or their feet swell.
That is provision!
Moses also points out, that although God provided Manna in the desert to fill their bellies, that was not enough for life.
Man requires the Word of God to truly live.
What provision is the Lord providing for you today in the midst of the testing?
In the midst, are you seeking the Word of the Lord as well?
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12
