Tests of the Heart
Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you to know what is in your heart that you would keep His commands. — Deuteronomy 8:2Deuteronomy 8:2
English: King James Version (1611) — KJV
2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.

Has God performed a heart test on you lately? There are times in our lives when God leads us into the desert to let us find out what is in our heart. These times can be very difficult and humbling. They can test our meddle like no other time. Desert times often mean we are living without those things we are normally accustomed to: water, food, limited supplies-and with few comforts. In modern terms, it may mean a different environment. God is performing a very important work during these times. He wants to know if you are obedient to Him in these times; or obedient only when times are good?
He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you (Deuteronomy 8:3–5Deuteronomy 8:3–5
English: King James Version (1611) — KJV
3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.

These desert times may mean experiencing new ways of provision from the Lord. Like manna from Heaven, it may mean seeing miracles we’ve never seen before. Like clothing that never wears out, it may mean seeing your normal capabilities expanded. Like walking hundreds of miles without pain, desert experiences provide new lessons and new experiences that only these times can teach us.
What desert experience has He brought into your life lately? Perhaps it is a lean time in business. Perhaps it is a new environment. Whatever it is, when God decides to bring new disciplines into our lives by bringing us into the desert, do not fear the heat that is sure to come. He is walking beside you to test you and find out what is really in your heart. Ask for His grace to pass the test. He wants to bring all of His children into the Promised Land.

entire nature itself reveal th present attitude of Christ toward the healing of our bodies. Nature everywhere is healing. As soon as disease germ enter our bodies, nature begins to expel them. Break a bone, or cut a finger, and immediately your body starts the healing process. How, has God commanded nature to rebel against His own will? If sickness is the will of God, would t not seem that He has?
