Num 14-15 I Want to Want What God's Already Offered

February 17th, Numbers 14-15

       This is one of those moments when our choices set forth a series of ramifications. Like a "Back to the Future" movie, everything could have been different.
       Everything that God wants to give us is on the other side of the hill. For hundreds of years God has been waiting to give his inheritance to his people. You lead a horse to water , but you can't make him drink.
       God has a lot he wants to bless us with. I'm fairly certain we're not much different than the Israelites. Trusting God seems to be a big of a step of faith. Many don't get to live in the fullness of what God has for us. This story is really a sad story to me. As much as it is about disobedience, it's also about people missing the greatest thing. I see that in people's lives all the time.
       I pray that we could learn to enter God's promise the first time it's offered.
