Remember the whole way by which he has brought you these forty years through the desert so that he might, by humbling you, test you to see if you have it within you to keep his commandments or not.

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people will go out and gather the amount for each day, so that I may test them. Will they walk in my law or not?

For you, O God, tested us; you purified us like refined silver.

These were the nations the LORD permitted to remain so he could use them to test Israel– he wanted to test all those who had not experienced battle against the Canaanites.

In your distress you called out and I rescued you. I answered you from a dark thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.( Selah)

Therefore the LORD who rules over all says,“ I will now purify them in the fires of affliction and test them. The wickedness of my dear people has left me no choice. What else can I do?

When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor.

This brings you great joy, although you may have to suffer for a short time in various trials.Such trials show the proven character of your faith, which is much more valuable than gold– gold that is tested by fire, even though it is passing away– and will bring praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

The crucible is for refining silver and the furnace is for gold, likewise the LORD tests hearts.

Pray to me when you are in trouble! I will deliver you, and you will honor me!”
