Do Not Put God to the Test

They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved. Psalm 78:18

Do not test the generous boundaries that God has given. The volume of food you are allowed to eat is generous. Willingly cut back where needed. Do not crave anything but a relationship with God through Christ. Otherwise, you are putting God to the test; in other words, it is stipulating that God is to have mercy on you while you willingly rebel against what He wants. This is insisting on getting God to die to His will so that you can have yours! This is dictating to God that He let you have your appetite and then giving God an ultimatum that He not exercise his wrath. It is expecting forgiveness.

Forgiving someone for wrongs is emotional and draining and time consuming. How much forgiveness have you demanded from God? Stop…get this right today. stop demanding from God and demand obedience for yourself. You can obey today if you want to. You had better stop asking God to die to His will and die to yours.
