Reading Numbers 21:1-9 (NLT) ~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. Instead of complaining when they are attacked, they go to God for the victory over the Canaanites. Yet right after the victory they begin grumbling again and provoke the LORD’s anger. Even when we do it right, we are likely to mess up again. Keeping the last victory in mind encourages you to go to God for the next one. John 3:14 Jesus lifted on a cross for our healing.
