(Deu 8:2 MKJV) And you shall remember all the way which Jehovah your God led you these forty years in the wilderness in order to humble you, to prove you, to know what is in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
It's easy to read through this verse and - like so many others - fail to consider what it is saying. God wants to humble me, and prove me, and to know what is in my heart? Does God not already know?
The word 'know' here is the same Hebrew term used when Adam 'knew' Eve. It's not an intellectual knowing, it's an experiential knowing. God wants to experience our faith. He wants to experience our growth. This brings Him glory in a way that simply knowing intellectually cannot.
This is worth considering the next time you drop a football pass that would have won the ballgame.
