How many of us will die in the wilderness like the Israelites because we lack faith in the promises of God? At every turn, we get bad reports like the spies that came back to the congregation and put fear into the people, causing them to cry out and wish they hadn't left Egypt. God was furious with them! So angry that he sent them back into the wilderness and made them wander there until all the adults died, saving only the children under twenty years old and Joshua and Caleb, forty years! 

The entire earth is facing incredible evil. The enemy's fury is running rampant, and it seems their madness has no end. However, we are not of this world; we are God's children, and our faith lies in him alone. Stop murmuring! The same God that punished the Israelites is our God, and he doesn't change. Change your mindset to a mind of faith in God alone. By His grace, we are saved through faith! We are nearing the pinnacle and must expect the enemy to fight back because he knows his time is short, but we must press on toward Jesus because it is our faith in him alone that will save us from this tyranny.

But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: Numbers 14:21-23
