Sometimes God uses testing—not to break us, but to shape us. Deuteronomy 8 reveals that the wilderness journey of Israel was not just a physical challenge, but a spiritual test designed to teach dependence, humility, and obedience. God humbled His people, allowed hunger, and then provided manna to show that life is sustained not by bread alone but by every word that comes from Him. Through this message, we’ll discover how our own trials can become training grounds for deeper faith and gratitude. The test is not a punishment—it’s preparation for the promise.
