"We see the other possible response in the behavior of Moses. He does not know what to do either, but he calls to God: 'Lord, help me! Show me the way!' For Moses, the testing leads to a strengthening of bonds with God, to a greater trust. It is important to realize that, in a situation of testing, we cannot stand still; we must either go forward or backward. An experience of testing leads either to a loss of confidence in God or to a stronger, more mature trust." (>>)
