Follow God's will in God's time
Numbers 14:26-45
God's punishment for the Israelites who sympathized with the 10 spies' bad reputation and fear is declared. He says that he will do what he hears in his ears, and that the first generation of Exodus over 20 years old, excluding Joshua and Caleb, will be killed for 40 years in the wilderness, and that Joshua, Caleb, and the second generation will enter the land of Canaan. Hearing this word, the Israelites belatedly attacked the land of Canaan, but without God and Moses being with them, the Israelites were defeated.
God declares death in the wilderness to those who do not trust and complain about God (26-38). What God wants is to trust and obey Him. We must trust and obey God in everything.
The Israelites listened to God's word of discipline and belatedly went to the land of Canaan, but suffered a crushing defeat (39-45). Obedience is following God's will in God's time. It goes up when told to go up, and goes back when told to go back. We fail when we live according to our own will instead of following God's will. We must always follow God's will in God's time.
God, let us trust and obey You in everything! And always let us follow Your will in Your time!
