Then his people believed his promises.
Then they sang his praise.
13Yet how quickly they forgot what he had done!
They wouldn’t wait for his counsel!
14In the wilderness their desires ran wild,
testing God’s patience in that dry wasteland.

The people refused to enter the pleasant land,
for they wouldn’t believe his promise to care for them.
25Instead, they grumbled in their tents
and refused to obey the Lord.

Lord God,
May I live in your glory, not in my desires. May I be patient and wait for your council and not do things on my own today. May I live wholeheartedly for you.

In Jesus name,
Amen
