The Daily Nosh – Exodus 20:20
So Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, so that His fear may be in you, so that you do not sin.” (TLV) – Exodus 20:20
Nosh: Difficult, even terrifying, circumstances in our lives are often constructive tests from God to build dependence and faith in Him and to prevent usin the future from falling into sin to which otherwise we might have been vulnerable.
