Putting God to the Test

When Satan was tempting Christ, one of Christ's responses was to quote Deuteronomy 6:16. “Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God.” How often do we tempt God? How often do we put Him to the test? How often do we provoke the Lord? Think of the times that ancient Israel provoked the Lord, and a pattern quickly establishes itself. By “tempting the Lord,” they brought judgment upon themselves. However, when they repented and turned back to God, they were forgiven and accepted by the Lord. So, how often do you ignore what God said through Moses, and what Christ said, and "tempt the Lord your God?"
