Numbers 20:12 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
Of all persons, one would expect that Moses would not have manifested unbelief, after he was privileged to hold direct communion with God, and after wielding the rod by which God worked so many miracles time and time again. After crossing the Red Sea by the power of God, and then walking through on dry land, one would think that unbelief would not raise its head again.
But lo and behold, later on in His experience Moses stumbled on the issue of not believing God, and as a result, he could not enter the promised land, after forty years of wandering. In fact, according to the sacred record, only two of the original number, who had left Egypt during the Exodus made it to Canaan, for all the others perished because of unbelief.
And then a stark warning comes down to Christians in our day, for we are not immune to indulging the spirit of unbelief, as can be observed by the various and numerous discordant views within the remnant church. In fact, as we stand upon the borders of the heavenly Canaan, the spirit of unbelief is scheduled to wreak havoc on those who have not been rooted and grounded in the truth.
Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
