You cannot test God but it is God that could put you on trial. Trusting in God is having belief that he can do anything for you no matter the circumstance you might find yourself in as long as you know you are at peace with him. Trusting God is believing in his might , his ability , his power in context to the situation you might find yourself. This trust and belief without compromise in times of problems. crisies or trials could translate to you passing his test. In life we would always face trials and tribulations and that is what makes life interesting. The ability to withstand the storms of life with absolute faith in your creator and not compromising your core beliefs in him is trusting in God. This is my humble explanation and God knows best. |

Arewa4:@Lagosboy Well said @Arewa4 (f) The former is just about not QUESTIONING GOD; (i.e. been GOD GULLIBLE; GOD CREDULOUS; GOD UNSUSPICIOUS etc) - Outrightly sitting on a chair without questioning or checking whether it'll take one's weight and not collapse in a manner of illustration is a crude example of "trusting" The latter in relation to certain issues/matter simply is about TRYING GOD OUT (i.e. TRIALLING GOD concerning these issues) - Checking a chair before sitting with confidence to ascertain/confirm it will take one's weight and not collapse whilst sitting in a manner of illustration is a simple example of "testing" Man trusts God and vice-versa. God tests Man. Notice no vice-versa in this respect. God testing references: Job 23:10As a matter of fact Man isn’t expected to test God. The exception to the above is when/where explicitly and absolutely encouraged or prompted to. |

Malachi 3:10 ESV Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. Matthew 4:7 Contemporary English Version Jesus answered, "The Scriptures also say, `Don't try to test the Lord your God!' " New International Version Jesus answered him, It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test Most things you look for in the bible you will find a scripture both for and against it. So its left to you to pick which one suits you best |
