Numbers chapter 14 verses.

But your little ones, who you said would become a prey, I will bring in, and they shall

know the land that you have rejected. But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this

wilderness, and your children shall be shepherds in the wilderness 40 years and

She'll suffer for your faithlessness

until the last of your dead bodies lies in the wilderness.

What sobering verses to read.

Because of God's people sending against him, not trusting in him, to lead them into the

promised land, to provide for them in the promised land they all miss out.

Everybody except for Caleb and Joshua because of their faith but because of everyone else's fear they missed out

on the goodness of God on life in the promised land they all missed out because they were afraid

because they chose fear over faith. I think about even the church I pastor in Metro Washington, D.C.

Glane Bible Church, and whenever we do surveys just to see where people are spiritually,

one of the biggest challenges people always share

is that they struggle with fear in this way or that way.

And I see it in my own life I just want us to see God help us to see in

Numbers 14 that fear keeps us from life according to God's design. Fear keeps us from experiencing all that God

wants us to experience and not just us in our lives. But it's interesting here, the people of God have been saying,

I mean, this will not be good for our kids.

Our kids are gonna lose their lives

if we go into the promised land and God says you've totally missed it
