Numbers 11-14

I know just how the Israelites felt. I have questioned God before, been convicted of my rebellion and sought to carry out his initial plan. Only to find the original way blocked. Then I have wandered learning of his love and grace but wondering what I would have seen if I had been faithful the first time. The consequnces of our rebellion differ between generation. Those who fled Egyptian slavery were condemned to 40 years of wandering for their disbelief. King Saul was stripped of God's annointing. But David's repentance after his adultry and murder  brought him closer to God.  I take comfort that God knows my heart and weaknesses so he deals with me as the loving father that he is. But he wants me to enter his rest with out being a rebel.
