Testing God's Patience

When a child is determined to be disobedient, you might hear a parent say, "You're testing my patience."

Whether we admit it or not, we've all tested our parents' patience - and God's patience too. We question why we have to do something or complain about doing something that's not as fun as what we want to do.

What God wants to see is us trusting Him.

We've seen God's people being warned about testing Him in Deuteronomy 6:16 where they are reminded, "Do not test the Lord your God as you did at Massah." Warnings continue in Matthew 4:6-7 where Jesus reminded the devil, "Do not put the Lord your God to the test."

Won't you be my guest at my Seek God With Me blog where I discuss this topic further?
