Numbers 11-14

It took me almost 20 minutes to read this passage. The people rejected God's promise. He said he would take them into the land of promise, but the people looked at their own strength and said it couldn't be done. In 14:4 they began talking about chooseing a new leader to take them back to Egypt. The flaw in their logic is that they didn't pick Moses. They had rejected Moses.  But God, who had chosen Moses before he was born, had never rejected Moses. Moses was God's chosen leader, and the people's desire to have a new leader was yet another act of rebellion. We too need to seek God's will, and follow his lead in every area os our lives.
