Numbers 14

ÒSo the LORDÕs anger was aroused against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that done evil in the sight of the LORD was gone.Ó (Numbers 32:13) Wahoo! What a mighty God we serve? Thank God for the blood that was shed on the Calvary. If not the blood of Jesus, many of us would probably have been gone before birth. God was displeased with the children of Israel that saw His hand in operation while they were in bondage and out on the way, away from bondage of over four hundred years. They saw how Moses was used to lead them out from the hand of Pharaoh the king of Egypt and they also saw how the Red Sea gave way for a passage on a dry land. Despite all that they saw, they could not see the Promised Land as theirs. The bible says it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrew 11:6) God was displeased for lack of faith and trust in Him. The children of Israel entered into fear and complaint became their make-up when they failed to see the land as being possessed they did not and the Lord declared, ÒThey shall not see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it.Ó(Numbers 14:23) An act of complaint is a ground to rebel. The children of Israel saw it all and it was for them to see it through but they faltered by the lack of faith. The same fear, doubt and complain that got the children of Israel stranded is still the same that is denying blessings of God today. The same deceiver has not changed and he is still in operation because his mission is to steal, kill, and destroy. Indeed, he stole what was in place for the children of Israel (Promised Land), he got them killed, and generations were destroyed. Before the deceiver got them killed and destroyed, he caused a situation that kept them wandering when they should have been moving forward. The children of Israel wandered for forty years until all generations that did evil in the sight of the Lord was gone. Do you have a feeling or sense that you are wandering where you suppose to be moving forward? Thank God for the blood that was shed on the Calvary. However, you do have a need to call on God today. Ask the Lord to draw you unto Him if you have consciously or unconsciously withdrawn from Him. He is a merciful God and He will answer because there is the Blood of Jesus in place for salvation. Avoid wandering and enter into what has been rendered unto you. The Lord will have mercy.
