“So tell them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you the very thing I heard you say: 29 In this wilderness your bodies will fall—every one of you twenty years old or more who was counted in the census and who has grumbled against me. 30 Not one of you will enter the land I swore with uplifted hand to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun. 31 As for your children that you said would be taken as plunder, I will bring them in to enjoy the land you have rejected. 32 But as for you, your bodies will fall in this wilderness. 33 Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness. 34 For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.’ 35 I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this whole wicked community, which has banded together against me. They will meet their end in this wilderness; here they will die.’” Numbers 14:28-35
“Of the men who went to explore the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh survived.” Numbers 14:38

Lord God Almighty,

This reminds us that You are God. There is judgement at Your throne. Not theoretical, not that doesn’t apply now but that still sees the complexity of the heart and mind of man. This generation that left Egypt constantly doubted You, complained and nothing was good enough. They always say You should have left them as slaves. One could say the spoke an endless self fulfilling prophecy that they would not make it. And they didn’t. But You in Your mercy kept Your promise to Abraham and led the next generation into the promise. Along with Caleb and Joshua. We can begin to see why Joshua becomes Moses right hand man.

Help us not to become unbelievers by our attitude. Not to get stuck in the rut of negativity and look back to what we think of as better days. Help us to see that today is the day to seek Your Kingdom, God and all Your blessings (Matthew 6:33). Help us in all our ways to acknowledge You as God and Lord, so You can direct our paths (Proverbs 3:6). And worship not whine and complain (Philippians 2:14).

At Your throne there is judgement. But Jesus took our punishment. Keep us in Your love through Your Your Son. Walking the right way, willingly, not dragging our feet or whining.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Of the men who went to explore the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh survived.

We are marching in the light of God.
We are marching in the light of God.
We are marching in the light of God.
We are marching in the light of God.
We are marching, marching, marching,
O, we are marching in the light of God.
We are marching, marching, marching,
O, we are marching in the light of God.

2. We are living in the love of God…

3. We are moving in the power of God…

“The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders.” Numbers 14:1-2 NIV

“When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates and figs. 24 That place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there. 25 At the end of forty days they returned from exploring the land.” Numbers 14:23-25 NIV

“They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.”” Numbers 14:27-29 NIV

Lord God,

When we reach this point we would think there was no promised land and no future and no promises from heaven. 2 were for and 10 against going forward! Perhaps they had expected You to provide a clear ready planted land for them to just oversee? If there we no people the land would have been untamed, uncultivated and years from a good harvest. You promised them this land way back back when Abraham stood upon it. You did not say it would be easy . . .

It took two men to argue that God was greater than anything they wold face and would keep his promises. We face the same disbelief in our world and occasionally in our own minds to believe in the promised land beyond death. In heaven. So many questions about it. There are many voices that would say negative things. It is not real. You have to be good to get there – and who is truly good? You need God permission and how do You get that? Keeping religious rules is hard?

Thank you that we have one voice that speaks above the others. Well two, no actually three but in perfect harmony. You promised us. Jesus made the way open and provided the necessary entry permission and the Holy Spirit who encourages us on the way not to doubt. Keep us tuned in to You and not the white noise of unbelief and doubt. Caleb and Joshua reached the promised land. Thank You for those who encourage us on the way.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

 Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed
He’ll prepare for us a place.

When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
we’ll sing and shout the victory!

While we walk the pilgrim pathway
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when trav’ling days are over
Not a shadow, not a sigh.

Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving ev’ry day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.

Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open–
We shall tread the streets of gold.

 “Now a wind went out from the Lord and drove quail in from the sea. It scattered them up to two cubits deep all around the camp, as far as a day’s walk in any direction. 32 All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail. No one gathered less than ten homers. Then they spread them out all around the camp. 33 But while the meat was still between their teeth and before it could be consumed, the anger of the Lord burned against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague. 34 Therefore the place was named Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.” Numbers 11:31-34 NIV

God who sets His people free,

Number is a gripping read with all of mans nature and all of Yours God. You have provided manna and water and safety and leadership and order. And they crave for what they have not! And we need to be honest before we jump in to judge them. And when they get what they want those rushing to gorge themselves (v33), find it is definitely not good for them . . .

Kibroth Hattaavah means graves of lust or graves of craving. Addict find that they need to take more and more of whatever their addiction is but are always chasing that first high. The enemy knows how to use and exaggerate those desires. Never satisfied always craving. Some of us know to a lesser extent with a packet of biscuit of a box of chocolates or whatever we decide to give up for lent! And when You want something sweet and there is nothing in the house it a trip to the late opening shop!

This surely is a warning to know that what we want is not always good for us even if it is not bad! Sometimes we want oranges because our body needs vitamin C and that is good but we need to check and see if the enemy is trying to make us unsatisfied with Your divine provision. And thank you for the little luxuries You send and we enjoy.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
