Your God Proveth You

Deuteronomy 13:3 KJV
Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Just as the Lord proved Abraham with Isaac, God's Word says He will prove the Jews.

He would prove them with false prophets to see if they would adhere to the Word of God or go astray with fanciful visions.

He would prove them with family members to see if their first love was the Lord or their loved ones.

He would prove them with whole cities that would turn aside from the Lord to see if they would follow the multitudes or the truth.

And just as the Lord proved Abraham and proved Israel we may rightly expect that God will prove us.

Let us resolve that we will cling to the truth as it is revealed in the Word of God, and not follow the fancies of false teachers, family or the multitudes.
