'And
your children shall wander in the Wilderness forty years, and bear your
whoredoms, until Your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness.' (Num 14:33)
About
to enter the Promised Land, God asked Moses to send out 12 men to spy out the
land. Ten of them brought an evil report and succeeded in convincing the people
that they could not inherit the land. Even though Cabled and Joshua, the only
ones differing, tried to convince them otherwise, the people were stubborn and
ready to return to Egypt.
Beware
of what you accept from people. The Israelites were virtually saying it was
pointless serving God just because they felt he was unable to give them their
desired haven. They had forgotten the past. Are you like the Israelites? Some
Christians, after waiting upon God over a particular issue and seeming not to
be making any headway, down tools and decide to go the devil. Have you
forgotten all God's blessings, provision, deliverance and healing of the past?
Are you not refusing to give your time in serving God today as a way of getting
back at him?
Numbers 32:8-13
In
our reading, verse 13, God was angry at the sins of Israelites and he caused
them to wander for 40 years in the wilderness until they died before entering the
Promised Land.
'And
your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your
whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness' (Num 14:33).
Are
you wandering aimlessly in life? Do you keep going round and round in circles?
You struggle and labour so much. You pray and fast so much. Men of God have
prayed and laid hands on you. But it seems nothing is working. Please check out
your life: reflect and trace back your relationship with God. Could you have
done something that brought such a punishment? As you retrace your steps and
confess every sin, like Jonah, the Lord will forgive and remove whatever
stumbling block he has allowed in your way.
Have you been wandering aimlessly in any area of your life?
Find out where it started and settle it with God.
