There is signifi cant meaning behind the number “40”, for example, when the Bible references 40 days, the 40 days spoken of is a time that God allows his people to go through challenges. Through these challenges we can grow spiritually stronger and closer to God. It is important for us, as believers, to grow to strengthen our faith and the only way that that will occur is when we place our trust in God. It is through God that we can overcome and make it through challenging circumstances.
