When we struggle with disobedience, the thought that we could be testing God is the farthest thing from our minds. Paul shortens that distance quickly as he shows exactly how Israel tested God, how quickly God reacted, and how prone we all are to testing God today. In human terms we may speak of pushing someone's "buttons." In a spiritual context, we might say that pushing God's buttons can prove to be very hazardous to our spiritual welfare. Presuming God is not merely disobeying Him, it's making some dangerous assumptions about His goodness and mercy. Learn why God responds to the sins of presumption - and why they hurt us more than they hurt him!
