The history of Israel in the Old Testament is really the history of all Christians. Like Israel, we have been redeemed through the blood of the Lamb. And like the people of Israel, we are heading for the Promised Land.

What is the one thing you need most on the journey from earth to heaven? I think Faith is needed most. The one thing you must do is trust God. That’s what the Psalmist talking about in this passage. The people would not believe in God and continue to sin. We see the consequences in versus 33. Unfortunately many of God’s people are betweeners—they are living between Egypt and Canon. They have been delivered from bondage by the blood of the lamb, but they have never entered into their inheritance. They They are living between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. They believe that Jesus died on the cross, but they’re not living in the Power of His Resurrection.

Don’t be a betweener today. Consider how God blessed the people of Israel. In His patience, however, He finally brought them through. We are like the people of Israel. Our greatest needs to believe God. We don’t live by explanations; we live by promises. Today, while you hear His voice, don’t harden your heart.

Unbelief leads to futility and fear. Perhaps you are a “betweener” today refusing to trust God is leading. When Israel believed the promises of God, He blessed them. Trust Him, obey Him and believe Him, and His blessing will come!
