Deu 8:2 And you shall remember all the way which Jehovah your God has caused you to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you, to try you, to know that which is in your heart, whether you will keep His commandments or not.
Every time I read a verse like this, I have to double-take it. Does God really need to test us so that He knows what we're made of? I contend - no. I believe God wants US to know what we're made of. Especially when times get trying, it's crucial that we as believers have confidence that we can stay the course.
It's not a lot different than boot camp. It's unbelievably difficult, but when you're done with the training and the bullets start flying for real, you can know within yourself that you've passed hard tests before.
