Today's Reading Numbers 14

In Numbers 14, the people started to grumble against Aaron and Moses. They said it would have been better if they had died in Egypt. Joshua and Caleb plead with the people byt they would not listen! The people talked abour stoning Joshua and Caleb but God intervened. in verse 11 The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these
people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them? 12 I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they." God meant to desytroy the people and make Moses into a great nation. Moses had to speak on behalf of the people to change God's mind from destroying them. We need to pray for people and get them saved from hell! Hebrews 3.7-4.13 is a commentary of the unbelief of the people in the wilderness. The sad fact was some 2 million people died in the wilderness and Joshua and Caleb were the only ones permitted to enter Canaan (verse 30).

What can we learn from Numbers 13 and 14? It is through the eyes of faith that all things are possible with God. (Mat 19.26). If the Israelites had faith, they would have reached Canaan which would have taken weeks to get took them 40 years. When we have faith and we obey God things get done if not we WASTE our lives wandering aimlessly like the Israelites. What is the secret of the Christian life, it boils down to two words TRUST and OBEY.
