“Why is the Lord taking us to this country only to have us die in battle? Our wives and our little ones will be carried off as plunder! Wouldn’t it be better for us to return to Egypt?” 4Then they plotted among themselves, “Let’s choose a new leader and go back to Egypt!”

 They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the Lord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!”10But the whole community began to talk about stoning Joshua and Caleb.

And 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 have done among them?

Then the Lord said, “I will pardon them as you have requested. 

“Let’s go,” they said. “We realize that we have sinned, but now we are ready to enter the land the Lord has promised us.”41But Moses said, “Why are you now disobeying the Lord’s orders to return to the wilderness? It won’t work.

 following your own desires and defiling yourselves, as you are prone to do.

Lord God my Father,

Be with me and help me to trust in you completely. I know the truth, I see you all around me but I struggle for control in areas you need to have access to. Release me from my bondage, bondage of this world and allow me to delight in your presence completely.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
