Teaching Moments--Tests and Trials Flashcards
According to Moses, how did God use manna to humble the children of Israel?
And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your father’s know, that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD (Deut 8:3).
What does Paul teach us about the contented life?
I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. For I can do all through him who strengthens me (Phil 4:12-13).
Why should sit up and listen, and be grateful?
25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire (Heb 12:25-29).
Who is my counselor?
8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.
9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.
10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surround the one who trust in the LORD (Ps 32:8-10).
What is the secret to getting what I really desire?
4 Delight yourself in the lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 commit your way to the lord; trust in him, and he will act.
(Ps 37:4-5; 7-8).
Pain is the great teacher.
