This week we are considering the Bible's teaching on testing God. In Matthew 4 Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 6:16 which expressly says, "You will not put the Lord your God to the test..." But God says through His prophet Malachi in Malachi 3:10 "Thereby put the Lord your God to the test..." Which is it? While it may appear to be a contradiction - it is actually a paradox. There is a way of testing God that is wrong and there is a way of testing God that He invites us to. Take some time to prayerfully examine Matthew 4:5-7, Deuteronomy 6:16, Exodus 17:1-7, Malachi 3:10, Romans 12:2, Ephesians 5:8-10, and Judges 6:36-40.
