Pagod ka na ba maghintay sa tamang work? Sa breakthrough mo? Sa lovelife? Don’t lose hope hindi masasayang ang paghihintay lalo na kung si Lord naman ang kasama.
Hindi tayo ilalagay ng Diyos sa isang lugar ng hindi tayo handa at bawat paghahanda ay may kalakip na hirap but always remember that what you are going through is never a waste of time.
The Hebrew name for this book is “in the Desert.” The word ‘in the desert’ appears in the very first sentence of this book in Hebrew. This title aptly describes the book's setting, which is in the desert.
God cared for the Israelites as they traveled through the desert. They ate food that God provided and drank water when they were thirsty. However, they complained about life in the desert and did not trust God to provide for them. Chapter 14 was one instance they show their hard-headedness. In verse 10, they even wanted to stone Moses and Aaron. Then the Lord appeared to them in a cloud. Yahweh, in His Father-heart, reminded them of His goodness and faithfulness. But His people kept on rejecting Him.
As a result of their lack of trust and disobedience, God punished them by allowing most of them to die during their wanderings in the desert. Only Joshua and Caleb survived to enter the Promised Land. However, the second generation, their children, did enter the Promised Land. God always does what he has promised.
This book reminds us that, yes, He is loving and faithful. But He is also angry at our sins. As we sinned and failed to ask for forgiveness, we also experienced its consequences.
And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs that I have done among them?” Numbers 14:11 ESV
