DO NOT REBEL; TRUST IN THE LORD
Keywords 1:21
See, the LORD your God has given you the land. Go up and
take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, told you. Do not be
afraid; do not be discouraged."
1. “Go
up and take possession of it” (19-25)
At Kadesh Barnea, Moses had said, "God
has given you the land...Go up...do
not be
afraid" (8,21). Then Moses sent spies from each tribe. They brought back
fruit and
reported that the land God was giving them was good.
2. You
rebelled and did not trust in God (26-46)
The people became afraid to take the land;
they thought they were too weak.
Moses
reminded them that God fought for them in Egypt and showed them the
way by fire
and cloud. But they did not trust in God. So, God decided that none
of them
would enter the land except for Moses’ successor Joshua and Caleb,
who
followed God wholeheartedly. Then the people changed their minds and
decided to
fight. But God did not give them the victory since they were stubbornly
following
their own ideas and feelings.
Prayer Lord, take away my fear, unbelief,
and stubborn pride. I trust and obey you.
One Word Trust in God and obey him
