Deuteronomy 8:2 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.
Does it seem like sometimes things in your life are not what they should be? The children of Israel wondered forty years in the wilderness, because God was proving their loyalty to Him. During that time every one who was twenty or older at the beginning of the treck died, except for Joshua and Caleb. Each new child that was born, and all of the people who were twenty or under at the beginning had to be proved over that period of time to show their hearts toward God. Each of these people had to be endowed with a humble attitude toward God. When God is dealing with us, we can do one of two things, we can either become proud, and rebel against God, or we can be humble and let God lead us in the way that we should go. Our reaction will determine whether or not God can use us. I think I would rather be humble. May God always find me useful for Him!
