"
When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming towards him, he said to Philip, ‘Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?’ He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

Philip answered him, ‘It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!’ Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, ‘Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?’

Jesus said, ‘Make the people sit down.’ There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there). Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

(John 6.5-11 NIVUK)

Yes, God tests Christians.

He did not mean to harm us by this, but to increase our faith.

When Jesus asked Philip, Philip became engaged in the problem that he needed to solve. He became immersed in it. And the outcome would have made a huge impact to him.

Far bigger impact than the impact to the crowd who only ate, even knowing the bread and the fish they ate came to be miraculously.

Thank him when God tests. He means well.
