Do not put the Lord to a foolish test

Do not put the Lord to a foolish test – 1 Cor 10:9-10

Vs 9 – Israel put the Lord to the test in the desert by complaining and so they were killed by snakes.  Paul encourages his readers to not put the Lord to the test by complaining and rebellion.  God is not mock what a person sows they will reap.  Satan tried to test Jesus in the wilderness but he refused and we must as well.

Vs 10 – Paul throughout this paragraph has been addressing some of the problems the Corinthians church was having through the example of Israel.  Do not grumble as Israel did because those who did were killed by the destroying angel.  Your rebellion can bring consequences you may not be able to bare.
