Numbers 14 and 15, Luke 4: 14-37, Psalm 42: 7-11
Numbers 14: 36-38 (ESV)
“And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who
returned and made all the congregation grumble against him by bringing up a bad
report about the land—the men who brought up a bad report of the land—died by
plague before the Lord. Of those men who
went to spy out the land, only Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of
Jephunneh remained alive.”
Verses 36-38 from Numbers 14 shows what happened to the men
who didn’t have the faith in God to help them. They died by plague. And earlier
in Numbers 14, God told Moses that only Caleb and Joshua would live to see the
Promised Land. This is what happens when you have faith, you see and will dwell
in the Promised Land. And when you don’t have faith, you die and you don’t see or
find the promised land. A plague seems harsh, but when we don’t have faith doesn’t
doubt enter in our life like a poison and eventually kills our faith in God. When
you lose faith in God, it is like a death of sorts. We all need to pray to have
the faith of Caleb and Joshua so we can see and find our own “promised land”
that God promised us.
