some can’t tell the difference between testing and temptation. When God uses hunger it is for testing. When Satan uses hunger it is for temptation

God has no reason to test anyone.

“God has no reason to test anyone.”

Of course He does.

Deut. 8:15-16, “Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee,

and that he might prove thee,

to do thee good at thy latter end;

Even the Psalmist knew this,

Psa 26:2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

Psa 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
