Not only is God aware of what is needed for our spiritual development, He is capable of providing it. Not only is He capable of providing it, He is relentless in bringing it about.
Mosses had learned to be content with a lowly shepherd’s task. He had learned his own frailty. He had begun to learn meekness in the hard life of the wilderness.
Instead of trusting his own strength and wisdom, Mosses would now lean on God –and it would make all the difference!
Confidence that God had led them to this point.
Confidence that God was still superior to the circumstances.
Confidence that God still intended to deliver them.
They had lost perspective. It was a combination of fear of the unknown and a lack of future focus that was at the heart of their complaint.
Our lives rise, fall and turn on our choices, and often are never the same because of them. The choices may be well-planned or spontaneous, but the results always seem to last longer than the choices themselves.
First John 5:4-5 says, whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith. We cannot do it alone. We desperately need the Lord. If you don’t know this Lord, there’s only one place to begin. The Bible tells us to recognize our failures, frailty and sin and to rely on Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross for forgiveness. The life of faith begins with the faith that believes God for salvation. Trust Him today. If you’re a believer, don’t lose sight of your dependence on God.
