Number14:20-35
The children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel became free after 400years of bondage. They were set for their promise land. God promised to take them to a land that flowed with milk and honey. Just as they were freed from over 400 hundred years of bondage, you have also received your salvation from a life of sin and iniquity. Your promise land is not to miss the trumpet call– not to miss Jesus when He comes back to get those that are living for His glory. The children of Israel that left Egypt, the ones that received the promise, did not get to the promise land. They missed the promise land because they could not stop complaining. Numbers 14:29, ÒThe carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.Ó When you are living for His glory, you cannot allow complaints to have a place in your journey. The children of Israel allowed complaints to have many places, not just a place. The journey that was supposed to take 11days went for 40years. Can you afford to go through an extended journey? Is it worth? The consequences for complaining are not worth it. You know exactly what you need to do. Determination will not see you through because it is neither by strength nor by might, but by the spirit of the LORD (Zechariah 4:6).
