Have you ever had that kind of day?
You know . . . the kind of day that nothing seems to go right
. . . the kind of day that nothing goes the way it was planned
. . . the kind of day that has more problems than solutions.
The Israelites did not see how God’s plan could work. They knew God had promised them land; however, the reports from ten out of the twelve men who explored the land were not favorable. They did not see how the big problems could work out. So . . . they decided to not risk their lives . . . it seemed like it was the safest and wisest decision.
If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them." But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites. Numbers 14:8-10
It was that kind of day
. . . the kind of day that the people turned from faith to fear
. . . the kind of day that the people believed they would be devoured rather than protected
. . . the kind of day that could have been different if the people had trusted God.
Pray: Reveal Your presence and power each day.
Learning with you to KICK START the day . . . every kind of day,
