God’s Promise!

Numbers 11-12

READ –  “Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Has My arm lost Its power? Now you will see whether or not My word comes true!’”  — Numbers 11:23 NLT

EXAMINE – The people complained about the hardship of the wilderness (Numbers 11:1-3). Some foreigners among them craved meat and the foods of Egypt (Numbers 11:4-6). Moses complained about carrying the heavy load of the people on his shoulders (Numbers 11:10-15). Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses for his marriage and his leadership (Numbers 12:1-2). God heard all of this and sent punishment to the people (Numbers 11:3, 33-34) and to Miriam (Numbers 12:9-12) and partners in ministry to Moses (Numbers 11:16-17, 24-25).

APPLY –  When the LORD told Moses that He would answer the people’s complaints by giving them meat for a whole month until it would make them sick (Numbers 11:18-20), Moses doubted (Numbers 11:21-22). But God assured Moses that He had not lost His power, that He was not limited in His provisions and that He could still live up to His promises! Have you ever thought that your situation, your sickness, your storm was too severe even for God? Take comfort and courage today in knowing that God is still able to do all things!

PRAY – Father God, during these unprecedented times, help us not to complain about our mishaps but to celebrate the miracles You’re working among us! In Jesus’ Name, Amen
