'Testing' in the Bible

He called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contending of the Israelites and because of their testing the Lord, saying, "Is the Lord among us or not?"

You must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer, for the Lord your God will be testing you to see if you love him with all your mind and being.

"'For testing will come, and what will happen when the scepter, which the sword despises, is no more? declares the sovereign Lord.'
