They grumbled in their tents
and did not obey the LORD.
So he swore to them with uplifted hand
that he would make them fall in the desert,
(Psalms 106:25-26 (NIV))
Moses had a lot to deal with when you consider how quickly the Israelites fell into disobedience. Just a few short verses before this passage, we hear that Moses interceded for the people to keep God from destroying them because of the things that they had done.
Think about that for a moment.
Think back on all that the Israelites had done since they left Egypt. Are we guilty of any less than what they did? Are we guilty of grumbling against God? Are we guilty of building false gods and idols and placing them before the one true God? Individually, we may not all be guilty of these things, but collectively, our society, our world, is very guilty of these sins and more!
It doesn’t take a genius to come to the conclusion that, because of our collective sin, God has something unfolding before us that will bring people to repentance or it will drive people to curse God. With all that is going on in the world right now, it appears to be unfolding very rapidly. The things that I see in the world today were not even a consideration in the society and in the world twenty of thirty years ago.
We have prophesy that tells us of things to come. We know that God’s Will is unfolding. It is my earnest and fervent prayer that we, as the Body of Christ, stay focused on Jesus and that we don’t lose sight that we can’t save ourselves.
We need the Lord!
