Numbers 14: The Faithfulness of God
Have you ever idealized the past so much that you forget God’s faithfulness? Numbers 14 shows that this mindset caused the Israelites to rebel against God.

The people whom God has called must be sanctified in order to reflect His holiness. The book of Exodus told the story of God redeeming the Israelites and calling them to be a holy nation. Now, Leviticus represents a guidebook for the new nation of Israel.
God is faithful. Sometimes it takes us coming to the end of our rope to realize that we need to trust and lean into to the One Who does not fail.
Sometimes things don’t go exactly as we imagine them going. However, God is faithful. We must trust and hope in Him, looking to Him alone for the provision of the Good.
The failure and stubbornness of people in the past didn’t prevent God accomplishing His purposes, and it wasn’t going to stop Him now. Moses self-perceived deficiencies did not matter. If God calls you to a purpose, He will equip you for it.
After 40 years of preparation in the wilderness, God commissions Moses to lead his people out of Egypt.
In an amazing turn of events, God sovereignly guided the process to preserve Moses’ life. It would be through Moses that God would deliver his people from bondage.
Exodus 1 describes how the children of Israel came to be oppressed by the Egyptians. However, God did not abandon them and was with them during their bondage.
