Today's Scripture *January 12, 2010*
Numbers 14: 40-44
Then they got up early the next morning and went to the top of the range of hills. “Let’s go,” they said. “We realize that we have sinned, but now we are ready to enter the land the Lord has promised us.”
But Moses said, “Why are you now disobeying the Lord’s orders to return to the wilderness? It won't work. Do not go up into the land now. You will only be crushed by your enemies because the Lord is not with you. When you face the Amalekites and Canaanites in battle, you will be slaughtered. The Lord will abandon you because you have abandoned the Lord.”
But the people defiantly pushed ahead toward the hill country, even though neither Moses nor the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant left the camp.
When the Israelites realized their foolish mistakes, they were suddenly ready to return to God. But God didn't confuse their admission of guilt with true repentance because He knew their hearts. Sure enough, they soon went their own way again.
Sometimes right actions or good intentions come too late. We must not only do what is right, but also do it at the right time. God wants complete and instant obedience.
James 2: 22 You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete.
God we want to give You complete and instant obedience.
Guide us Lord as we make our daily choices. May everything we say and do bring You honor and glory.
In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Blessings,
April
