Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun. But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised. But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise. I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. Numbers 14:28-35
Steps: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
Israel, as a nation, has rebelled against God ten times. God says to them that since they do not want to go in they will stay out of Canaan until the entire generation of adults dies in the wilderness, but that their children, those whom they said they were trying to protect, will go into Canaan. If we play with God long enough He will sometimes take us at our words.
Prayer for Today: God, You know our hearts. You know if we want to be with You or not. Please help us and change our hearts. We are naturally rebellious and we need You love to help us. Thank You for Your grace.
