Recognize your responses to God’s leading matter to Him. Don’t take for granted you’ll have another time to do so. Don’t risk losing this moment when your heart may be softened to obey Him. Take this opportunity, this very minute, to make things right with God. In the wilderness during Jesus’ 40 day fast, Satan tempted Him to test God but Jesus reminded him of what Scripture states, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test’” ( Matthew 4:7).

It explains how the errors in their hearts caused them to go astray and become harden towards Him ( Psalm 95:7-10). Scripture describes how the Israelites through their disobedience in the wilderness tested and tried God for 40 years. Throughout the Bible, God urges to “not put the Lord your God to the test” ( Deuteronomy 6:16). It’s easy to think you’ll take care of it when it works better in your schedule or you’re ready to turn away from the situation but Scripture says you may not have that opportunity.Īs well, do you know that God views your delay in submitting as your testing Him because you aren’t yielding to His leading?

And by delaying to submit to His will, you are risking being able to obey Him in the future concerning the matter?

BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY: As has just been said: "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." - Hebrews 3:15
