Title Reason for training on April 26 (Tuesday)
Key words wilderness road, humble, live by the word, be in awe, good soil
Why did you make me walk in the wilderness to make a list by topic?
Verse 2: He humbles you and tests you to see what your heart is and whether you keep your commands or not.
Verse 3: So that it may be known that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.
Tip 1. As a man disciplines his son (v. 5): “Discipline” does not refer to “punishment,” but “punishment for the sake of education.” Although Israel suffered in the wilderness, it was not to punish them, but to train them.
Meditation on the Word of Faith
The wilderness was the process for Israel to enter the Promised Land. Israel needed training. Life in the wilderness was an opportunity for the Israelites to learn that they could only survive with God's help, not their own strength. A person made in God's image must live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. All the strength that human beings can live is provided by God.
Purposeful duration of the exam
God allows us to walk in this wilderness to transform our lives into a God-centered life. As we go through the wilderness of life, we must realize that only God is in control of our lives and obey His words (verses 5-6). After training in the wilderness, you will be given a rich and beautiful land. God's purpose is that by obeying Him, they will enjoy abundance and praise Him. The training in the dry wilderness is to qualify to enjoy the good soil, which is God's gift.
