He said, “Now go in and posses the land.” And they would not do it. They doubted God’s promise and questioned His wisdom. They did not believe he would enable them to conquer the land. As a consequence, God said, “Alright everybody 20 years and older is going to die within the next 40 years. And that’s what happened. ...

It’s important to make our lives count while we are on earth. Yes, Our lives have their difficulties, and if the Lord doesn’t return soon, Our lives will end in death. But that will lead to eternity. And we can live a life of the eternal today. The Bible says, “He who does the will of God abides forever. Let’s touch the eternal today by abiding In the Almighty and doing His will.
