Numbers 20
Moses was indeed a righteous man (see also Deuteronomy 34) but he as not perfect. In fact, he was a murderer, arrogant, etc. But God molded Moses into the servant of God Moses needed to be according to God's plan. Yet even as God's servant from time to time, Moses fell short - as we all do.
We must remember that sins do not go unpunished and that our arrogance and lack of trust in God has a price - as it did for Moses.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an awesome God who is full of forgiveness and compassion - thank You Jesus! I am not worth such love. I am harsh with my words. Please forgive me and help me turn from my sin and towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul and mind, and love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself strength and wisdom. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of cancer. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.” v12
