The Promised Land

I am reading a Bible story from Exodus this morning. The Children of Israel have survived the exodus out of Egypt, and now arrive at the “Land Flowing With Milk & Honey”. Spies are sent out. Their report is bleak. But Caleb & Joshua offer anointed encouragement in these words: “If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, and will give it to us. Only do not rebel against the Lord, and do not be afraid of the people of the land. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us!” Exodus 14:8-9

The Lord is with us! What a great promise! I wonder how many times God has brought us to the edge of “The Promised Land” only to have us rebel because of fear. How could the Israelites forget so quickly the many miracles provided by God along their journey? How can you and I so easily forget that God has never failed us in the past? I remind you today that He will never fail us in the future either! We can trust Him! Is He asking you to “cross over Jordan” and possess the Land? Go for it!

Thanks for your prayers, and your kind words of encouragement in my Guest Book! You are a blessing to me! I love you!
