Numbers 13
The Israelites finally make it to the edge of the promised land.
Notice how God phrases it in verse 2, the land that I am giving you.
The promised land is a gift that God is giving them.
The only problem is that when they went to spy out the land not only was it plentiful but it also had some strong people and heavily fortified cities.
This is no problem though right?
They know what God can do so if he gave it to them then they can just go right in and take it.
This is true but most of them didn’t trust God in it.
Almost all of the spies started exaggerating about what they saw because they did not believe that they could take the land.
They lacked faith.
The outcome of this is that God doesn’t allow them to take the land until everyone but the ones that knew they could take the land had died.
Because of their lack of faith they never got to enter the promised land.
In our own lives we are sometimes just like the majority of the spies, we forget all that God has done and loose our trust in him in whatever situation that we are in.
Let this be a reminder to you to always trust in Gods plan because it is perfect and he will come through.
In salvation we are called to have faith.
Faith that through Jesus and Jesus alone we can be forgiven of our sins and saved from God’s wrath.
Though like the Israelites we fail time and time again he will keep on forgiving us.
Repentance is what it is called when you turn from sin and back to God and in our salvation we are called to live lives of constant repentance.
Through Israel we get a picture of the gospel message and see that we are just like them.
We may look at them and say that I can’t believe they did that again but we are the same way with our sins.
We also see through their story that God never gives up on them, he may discipline them when they need it, but he never gives up on them.
Next week we are going to look at a story a few chapters away about a talking donkey.
