WATCH YOUR MOUTH
Numbers 14

Life is a journey. Everyone that has the breath of life is in the journey of life. He is a good God, not a wicked God. In the course of life’s journey, anyone that can walk in line with His commands will surely get to the final destination of life’s journey. God out of His goodness and mercy stated in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” The journey to the future is not of evil, but it is of good. For those that are willing to keep on calling on Him, and seeking Him in prayer. Of course, He is a jealous God and attention is the antidote of jealousy. Why would a creation not constantly give the Creator attention? Giving all your attention to God is denying the enemy to attend to you. When seeking Him with all of your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength (Deuteronomy 6:5) is in place in your life, anyone that seeks to destroy your life will have to seek to destroy God first, which is an absolute impossibility. Life is a journey, getting to the expected end is possible. Also, not getting to the expected end is not impossible. The major trap that can terminate any sojourner from getting to the expected end is evident in the journey to the Promise Land. The children of Israel, having been delivered from the bondage of over four hundred years, understandably had the tendency of carrying some of Egypt with them. However, for every Egypt to be flushed out for God to reign and rule overwhelmingly in their life, they saw a great move of His hand. They were able to walk on a dry land in the middle of sea, while the enemy could not. The journey to the expected end became terminated for the children of Israel because of complaints. God promised to take them to a land that flowed with milk and honey, but they failed to rest in the promise of God instead, they engaged in wrestling with His promise. God responded in Numbers 14:27, “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me? I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me.” Complaining is an act of rebellion unto God. Complaining terminated the journey of life when God stated, “The 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.” (Numbers 14:29). He hears complaints. Cease from all ways of complaining.
Prayer for today: Father I ask in Jesus name, deliver me from every spirit of complaining. Let me not be cut off from getting to the expected end.
