God sometimes allows a time of testing; desperation even, so that we learn to trust in Him alone. When we have nothing else to hold on to, except our faith; when God is our only hope, we learn to trust Him like never before. You remember Jesus said that we should pray daily asking our Father, to give us this day our daily bread… to supply our needs for today. Why did He say we should ask daily? For the same reason the Israelites for forty years in the wilderness were only allowed to collect enough manna for one day at a time. So that we’d learn to depend upon God daily as we journey through life. God has given us our lives in units of twenty-four hours so that we will seek Him and trust in Him daily.
