What’s more, you haven’t brought us into another land flowing with milk and honey. You haven’t given us a new homeland with fields and vineyards.
Lord God my Father,
Keep me from focusing on the struggle, but to focus on your delivery from my struggles.
in Jesus name I pray,
Amen
“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?”
“The land we traveled through and explored is a wonderful land! 8And if the Lord is pleased with us, he will bring us safely into that land and give it to us.
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?
But Moses objected. “What will the Egyptians think when they hear about it?” he asked the Lord. “They know full well the power you displayed in rescuing your people from Egypt.
They have all seen my glorious presence and the miraculous signs I performed both in Egypt and in the wilderness, but again and again they have tested me by refusing to listen to my voice.
One day while the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they discovered a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day. “The man must be put to death! The whole community must stone him outside the camp.”
And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. Yes, make our efforts successful!
Lord God my Father,
Keep my heart courageous under your direction, keep me from falling into fear. Help me to trust the strength you give me and not turn from you. Give me a faith that is natural to my thoughts and shaped by you alone. Keep me from testing you. May your glory we the only thing seen in my life.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
