"Jesus looked and saw a large crowd of people beginning to gather
around Him. So He asked Philip, 'Where can we buy bread to feed these
people?' He said this only to test Philip's reaction. Jesus already
knew what He was about to do" (John 6:5,6).

Now the Lord does not tempt us with the intent of making us stumble.
That is the way the adversary works. No, the Lord indeed tests us and
proves us, but His Way is to strengthen us in the testing, whereas
the devil wants to weaken us in the testing. It has been said that
our circumstances will either leave us better or they will leave us
bitter. Ultimately, the decision is ours. We should steadfastly
resist the temptation of satan, but we should also learn to
distinguish between the assault of the enemy and the proving of the
Lord.

Jesus already knows what He is going to do. In His mind it is as good
as done. But He waits, and He proves us. Not because He does not know
us, but because we do not know ourselves.
