Numbers 14:40\u201345,<\/strong> We \u2026 will go up.<\/em><\/strong> Here we see the Israelites preparing to go and to possess Canaan in their own strength and against the will of YHVH. Where did this carnally-driven endeavor lead them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew Henry discusses how this act demonstrates how the carnal mind is enmity against YHVH (Rom 8:7), for when he bade them to go, they would not, and when he forbade the children of Israel from going, that is when they decided to go. They distrusted his strength, and trusted in their own. What was the result of their expedition? Failure! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us take warning from the fate of Israel, lest we perish after the same example of their unbelief. Let us go forth, depending on YHVH\u2019s mercy, power, promise and truth. Do you think that the Israelites were rationally aware of what they were doing? We can easily look back in 20\/20 hindsight and see the folly of their ways, but let us pray that YHVH gives us the discernment to see when each of us is guilty of the same in our own lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Psalm 37,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delight yourself also in YHVH, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. <\/a> Commit your way to YHVH<\/em>, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it<\/em> to pass.\u2026Rest in YHVH<\/em>, and wait patiently for Him\u2026The steps of a good<\/em> man are ordered by YHVH<\/em>, and He delights in his way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
