Numbers 21:4-5 (AMPC) - And they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom, and the people became impatient (depressed, much discouraged), because [of the trials] of the way. And the people spoke against God and against Moses, Why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, neither is there any water, and we loathe this light (contemptible, unsubstantial) manna.”
As the Israelites were traveling from Egypt (the land of bondage) to the Promised Land, they had to go through the wilderness to get there. As they were traveling through the wilderness, the scripture says that they became "impatient (depressed, and much discouraged), because of the trials of the way". One of the greatest spirits, that you will have to fight off, as a man or woman of God, is the spirit of discouragement. As we walk this walk, their are going to be many challenges, obstacles, trials and tribulations, that you will experience. Their are also going to be some set backs and disappointments. With that, they're going to be many opportunities for you to find yourself discouraged because of them. The way is not always easy. It's a fight to the finish. And you can not let the spirit of discouragement knock you out. You must fight and make it into your Promised Land.
