Read Scriptures:Number 20:1 - 21:35
Situation: The Israelites returned to Kadesh thirty-seven years after the disappointing spy mission. Nearly all of the generation that left Egypt had died. Moses felt the people were ready for a fresh start toward the Promised Land.
Observation: God continued to be in control as He led His people, even to the extent of denying the leaders, Moses and Aaron, entrance into the Propmised Land. When the people entered the land without these great men, God showed that His power does not depend on any dynamic leader.
Application: Do you have a major decision or important step of fatih to take? What role have you let God play? Pray today that barriers to God's will in your life will be turned down. Be open to God's plan for you.
