John 6:5-6 ERV "Jesus looked up and saw a crowd of people coming toward him. He said to Philip, “Where can we buy enough bread for all these people to eat?” He asked Philip this question to test him. Jesus already knew what he planned to do."
There's a difference between temptations and tests. God tests and Satan tempts. The purpose of temptations is to make you sin but tests are to test your faith in God and to know what you'd do in a particular situation.
We are tested from time to time the same way students are tested after being taught. Abraham was tested with his son Isaac and Abraham was willing to give God his only son. But how many of us would gladly give God the last money in our accounts when there's no hope of getting it back? How many of us would pay our tithes when the bills nearly equal the income? What if you are being tested?
We are rewarded for every test that we pass. Here's what God said to Abraham: “You were ready to kill your only son for me. Since you did this for me, I make you this promise: I, the Lord, promise that I will surely bless you and give you as many descendants as the stars in the sky. There will be as many people as sand on the seashore. And your people will live in cities that they will take from their enemies. Every nation on the earth will be blessed through your descendants. I will do this because you obeyed me.” Hallelujah!
