Key Verse: 31
Title: GOD'S HOPE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
Content:
God postponed the people's entry to the promised land. Their grumbling and complaining were rooted in their unbelief (11), and evidence of holding God in contempt. God hoped for them to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. They rejected God's direction and wanted to return to Egypt. But God did not abandon his plan. They feared their children would all be taken as plunder (3). But God would bring them in to enjoy the land (31). This multi-generational hope characterizes our good God. His discipline of one generation is at the same time his great hope for the next. While suffering in the wilderness for their parents' unfaithfulness, these children would grow up with a different spirit (33). While those who gave a bad report died from a plague, Joshua and Caleb were rewarded.
The people did not like this direction from God, and wept bitterly. After a night of tears and admitting their sins, they thought they were ready to receive what God had promised. They charged uphill with zeal. But this was presumption; they did not repent based on God's will, but their own desire. God did not go with them, and they were soundly beaten. Without God's leading and direction, no plan will succeed. God will not be mocked; his promises cannot be abused by rebellious people.
Prayer: Father, thank you for your hope in spite of our unfaithfulness. Help me to humbly receive your discipline and pray for the next generation.
One Word: God fulfills his purpose with hope
