THE 30th OF NOVEMBER
WITH THE LORD WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS
“Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.” Numbers 14:9
Having the right perspective on things and the right heart changes everything. God told Moses to send twelve spies, one from each tribe, into the land of Canaan, which the Lord was giving to the children of Israel. After the spies returned, ten of them, whose hearts were not fully the Lord’s, gave a bad report, as they saw only the strength of Canaanites and caused the whole nation to fear to do what God told them to do and rebel against Moses and Aaron.
Only Joshua and Caleb, who truly loved the Lord and trusted His promises, saw the Canaanites’ weaknesses and believed that God would truly help the Jews conquer the promised land. The Canaanites had reached their peak in their iniquities and God was to give them into the hand of His people. But their punishment was delayed for forty years, because of the Jews’ doubt and rebellious hearts. Each of us have certain territory to conquer, in order to make God’s promises come to pass in our lives. We can truly receive what God promised us. Disobedience can have a very high price!
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You, Heavenly Father, for all the great promises from Your Word. Thank You for all that are already fulfilled and also for those which will come to pass, because You always keep Your word. There is nothing I should fear, because You are with me and You love me unconditionally. Lord, please help me to trust You in all things and never doubt Your love and willingness to bless and help me. Lord, help cure my unbelief. In the Name of Jesus I pray. Amen
