Hashem answers simply that he had never been tested like they were.

When a deal may go sour, or a job opportunity is \u2018missed,\u2019 there is usually something better and bigger in the works! We must have complete Faith in G-d and believe it is all in our best interests. This will make us lead much happier and fulfilled lives as well, as well as restore our connection to our ultimate Life Planner.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PERSPECTIVE \u2018SINNING\u2019 [9b top] R\u2019 Shmuel bar Nachmani quoting R\u2019 Yonasan explains that King Dovid did not technically sin with Batsheva.
