Moses was to go to the top of mount Abarim where the LORD showed him the Promised Land from a distance. Because Moses rebelled against the LORD by hitting a rock instead of speaking to it to bring needed water to the people, Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land. Moses was an […]
Consider the multitude of people whom the LORD was leading to the Promised Land by Moses, His servant. What about those two million people?

Romans 11:33-36 paraphrased prayer Lord, You are the God of the Bible. Hear my prayer. Oh, the depth and the riches both of wisdom and knowledge of God! Your riches are available to me.

The LORD proved His chosen leader – Aaron, the high priest. Did Aaron live a life without sin? No he did not, but he was still God’s leader. And the LORD proved His choice. Get a rod, one for every tribe. Write a name on each rod. Write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi. […]
Korah, and others who agreed with him, rebelled against the LORD’S authority and His words.

The children of Israel were out in the wilderness, led there by the living God. They complained about the adversity. How do you put up with others complaining? What does this show about a person who complains all the time? I don’t know about you but I tend to shut them out, till I cannot […]
James 5:9 paraphrased prayer Lord, You tell me not to complain. “Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.” You are standing at my door, hearing my complaining.
