To rise up together, believers should have the same mission, like-mindedness and be willing to minister to others.

To rise up tomorrow, there are things believers should not put their hope in and there is a God who believers should place their hope in.

As Israel’s journey continues, we see their rebellion in the conflicting spy reports about Canaan and more complaints as a result of the reports. This was followed by Moses coming between his people and God, God making a conclusion about this people and then a collapse at the hands of the Amalekites and Canaanites.

Believers should revere, recount and remind.
