Rebellion that caused us to lose our promised land...!

Deuteronomy 1:26-33 NKJV

“Nevertheless you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the Lord your God; and you complained in your tents, and said, ‘Because the Lord  hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. Where can we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying, “The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.” ’ “Then I said to you, ‘Do not be terrified, or afraid of them. The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.’ Yet, for all that, you did not believe the Lord your God, who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day.

Shalom! Day #109. Do you know that your rebellion can cause you to not enter into the promises of God? Let's pray. Father, break us, and make us a new creation,  let there be no rebellion be in us. Mold us and make us to be more like You and less of us. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Our rebellion can cause us to lose our blessings, our inheritance and our call and the promises of God. In today's verse, God had to literally destroy the rebellious generation before the new generation can step into the promised land. The older generation complained against God, and God saw this ungrateful generation and prohibited them from stepping into their promised land. And God had to remove this generation to allow the newer generation to step in.

But again the Lord says, “Then I said to you, ‘Do not be terrified, or afraid of them. The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all He did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.’ This promise goes to the newer generation, we. Are we ready to take possession of those things which are rightfully belongs to us? Let us not rebel and complain against God, but let us be thankful and grateful for the things which He has done. Continue to be faithful to Him and allow Him to lead us.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
