A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR MARK
As I read Psalm 78 this week, I thought of the idea of “testing.” Tests come from God to us, but we are not to test God. Testing God is when we as God’s people deliberately disobey God and dare Him to act. Psalm 78:18 says, “They willfully put God to the test.” As I grow in my relationship with God, I rediscover these basic truths: (1) God loves me more than I can understand (Praise God!); (2) Because God loves me, He won’t let me “get away” with sin. If I test Him, He will discipline. So, the best way to stay in close fellowship with God is to love and obey Him and to fear Him enough to not put Him to the test.
