He Tested Them

The wandering had begun for Israel and it didn't take long for the complaining to begin. What they didn't know--that we know now--is that difficulties along the way were not simply obstacles of annoyance ... they were opportunities God would use to test and try the faith of His people. With each subsequent providential supply (water, food, battle assistance) God would teach His people to trust Him for what they needed. He does the same for us today.
