“Why is the LORD bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become a prey. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?” And they said to one another, “Let us choose a leader and go back to Egypt” Numbers 14:3-4, ESV.
Slavery in Egypt seemed far better to the Israelites than having to rely on God in the wilderness. At their breaking point they preferred slavery and stability over freedom and uncertainty. You may be at your breaking point and are tempted to go back to the place God delivered you from because you see no other way, but hear the word of the Lord today:
“There’s nothing for you in those old places where I delivered you. Don’t go back to bondage. Hold fast to My promise. If you hold on for a little while longer, I will make a way out of no way for you and your family. If you will obey Me and follow My ways, I will help you reach your place of promise. I will supply all your need according to My riches in glory in Christ Jesus. I am Jehovah-Jireh your provider and I will keep My promise to you.”
Prayer: Father God, thank you for speaking directly to my heart. Help me not return to my old ways. Help me stick to your way of doing things even when it’s a sacrifice. I know you didn’t bring me this far to leave me. I know you are with me and will supply all my needs. Help me serve you, not money. I receive your strength to move forward in faith and trust you with everything in me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
(Read Genesis 22:14; Isaiah 43:19; Philippians 4:19)
