Today’s sermon by Pastor Aaron was based on Numbers 13:21-33. An interesting topic as it is as valid today as it was back then. Who do you trust? In this time of increasing reliance on the words from the government for our well being and safety, who do you trust? The One who created all or a politician/bureaucrat whose primary motive is staying in authority?
10 of the 12 sent to promised land to see what it was like, came back and said “Yes, it is a land of milk and honey” however the people were strong and frightened them. God had told them He would fight their battles for them, all they had to do was trust in Him.
Those 10 didn’t and convinced the rest to listen to their side of the story. Hence, they ended up wandering the desert for another 40 years, until they all died. Their children saw the promised land, they never did, because they did not trust in what God told them.
Don’t be like them, as heaven is the promised land, and you won’t see it if you don’t trust in Christ. Your well being and safety come not from the government, but from above. (James 1:17, John 3:27)
An old friend of ours was at church today. He and his wife had recently moved down to the Bird Island area, about 40 minutes south of us. He told me all the churches down there are closed. It made me wonder who those churches trust. God is willing to fight your battles, you just have to trust Him.
