The failure of Israel to enter the land of promise began in murmuring, or, as the text in Numbers literally puts it, "as it were murmured." Just a faint desire to complain and be discontented. This led on until it blossomed and ripened into rebellion and ruin. Let us give ourselves no liberty ever to doubt God or His love and faithfulness to us in everything and forever.
We can set our will against doubt just as we do against any other sin; and as we stand firm and refuse to doubt, the Holy Spirit will come to our aid and give us the faith of God and crown us with victory.
The challenge we all face daily is to keep our eyes on Christ. In doing so, we more easily see our situations as "better than" or our glass is "half full". This attitude will help us guard against murmuring and allowing the junk of life to hamper our walk and testimony for Christ.
Enjoy this devotion linked here today and remember, "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me" ~ Philippians 4:13. With such a great and powerful statement to stand on, we should never be anything but positive.
Blessings & Peace
Robert
