Remember the Miraculous Signs
Following the Lord’s instructions,
Moses selects one rep from each
of 12 tribes to form a scouting party.
Their assignment: to spy out the
defenses of the land and bring
back a sample of the produce.
The 12 return with a divided report!
Ten see only the obstacles while
two see opportunities. The nation
disheartened & faithless, threatens
to stone Moses and return to Egypt
rather than face what lies ahead.
As a result, God condemns that
unbelieving generation to forty
years wandering the wilderness.
Lord,we’ll Choose Faith Not Doubt:
Two of men who had explored the
land, Joshua and Caleb, said to
the community of Israel: The land
we explored is a wonderful land!
The Lord will bring us safely into
that land and give it to us…Do not
rebel against the Lord and don’t
be afraid of the people of the land…
The Lord is with us (Num 14:6-9).
The Lord said to Moses: How long
will these people treat me with
contempt? Will they never believe
Me, even after all the miraculous
signs I’ve done among them (v11).
I have forgiven them as you asked.
Because these men who have seen
My glory and the signs I did in
Egypt and in the wilderness and
have put Me to the test 10 times
and have not heeded My voice,
they shall not see the land which
I swore to their fathers (v19-23).
Lord, open my spiritual eyes to see those exceedingly good things in my path. Forgive me for focusing on the problems around me. As I keep my eyes on You and the purpose You’ve put before me, may I go forth in faith, not in fear, so that I don’t miss the beauty and blessings each day. Amen.
Lord, it is so easy to let our hearts be affected by negativity. And I confess that I tend to live by sight and not by faith. Please help me reverse that tendency. I purpose to hang on to Your truth, even when it may contradict the visible world and circumstance. For I want to be a believer in every way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Lord, just as U delivered Your pple out of Egypt, and You forgave them and provided what they needed every step of the way, I turn to You for deliverance & forgiveness & ask that You will provide for my needs. Help me to never doubt that You will always give me the light I need for each step I take. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
