Numbers 14 - 15, Psalms 90 (1st Mar) - Kelvin

Numbers 14

Over here, we see a similar situation happening back in the book of Exodus; the Israelites are grumbling again! I cannot believe this myself but God reminded me that many of us are actually like them sometimes if we look into the 'mirror'.

In verse 33 of chapter 13, those who went to explore the land realised the people were bigger size than themselves and they were so afraid and without fighting, they already think they are bound to lose. A similar comparison would be sometimes, we think that we are not as good as the ' ang mohs' because they are much better in terms of physique and strength.

Of course, my focus here is not about all these but on the fact that the Israelites do trust the Lord. They do not trust Him as who He demostrated Himself to them as - a God full of miracles. They even thought of stoning Caleb and Joshua who were full of faith in the Lord. As a result,the Israelites lost the Greater Blessing of the Lord.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, let us not trust the Lord partially because it is still disobedience and preferring to do things according to what we see and not according to what we cannot see - which is the work of the Lord.

Numbers 15

Here, the Lord prepares the Israelites on the offerings which they are commanded to do after they enter the land which He is giving to them.

Psalms 90

The way which Moses pray to God is just so beautiful. It shows depth and understanding of the Lord's character. It reveals the Glory of God and His Justice to me. Out of righteouness, He displays kindness to Moses and his people. Surely, from the way Moses pray to God, he knows Him as a loving God who is willing to bless us. The Lord is good, so let us walk with Him with a prayerful life.
