FAITH CAPSULE: One that is not committed to God will complain and not arrive at the promise of God. 

Numbers 32

Giving self to a convenient location will dislocate commitment in the life of one from getting to the center of divine assignment.
The Israelites could not commit to arriving at the promise of God for their life when they considered a convenient location of their choice.
The choice of convenience in the place of commitment will not fly.
The children of Gad and Reuben settled for the East side of the Jordan when God wanted them to cross the Jordan and establish them. 
The choice of convenience was a priority above the promise of God for the children of Gad and Reuben. 
The priority above the promise of God can relocate one away from a divine assignment for one.
Numbers 32:1-7 documents, “Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock; and when they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that indeed the region was a place for livestock, the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying, “Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, and Beon, the country which the Lord defeated before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.” Therefore they said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not take us over the Jordan.” And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: “Shall your brethren go to war while you sit here? Now, why will you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord has given them?” 
God promised land that flows with milk and honey, but the children of Gad and Reuben wanted to settle for land with milk. 
The Bible states that the children of Gad had a great multitude of livestock as they recognized the region for livestock (the source of milk).
As a result, the commitment to the Promised Land with milk and honey subsided.
The request of the children of Gad was a discouragement to their brethren from going forward. 
One that is not committed to God will complain and not arrive at the promise of God. 
Commitment is not convenient but sacrifice. 
One with no commitment to the word of God will compromise the word of God. 
Discipline lines with commitment, while doubt lines against commitment.
With doubt, fear rises to relegate faith. 
Let your life journey be committed to God to remain connected to the promise of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that you enable to be committed to the word of God.
