ONE-YEAR JOURNEY OF THE BIBLE
Day 54 -Numbers 26-28 (God Will Do As He Says - You Can Trust It With Your Life)
“‘...the LORD spoke to Moses and Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying: "Take a census of all the congregation of the children of Israel from twenty years old and above, by their fathers' houses, all who are able to go to war in Israel."...But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Sinai. For the LORD had said of them, "They shall surely die in the wilderness." So there was not left a man of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.’” (Numbers 26:1b,2,64,65)
Earlier in the book of Numbers when the whole congregation of Israel murmured against God that they will all be killed by their enemies, God told them that “just as you have spoken in My hearing, I will do to you.” (Numbers 14:28) So, at the time of the second census 40 years later, not a single person who complained to God in Numbers 14 20 years old and above was alive except for Caleb and Joshua.
If you ever have a doubt about something that God has said in His Word, the fact that He fulfilled what He said concerning the more than six hundred thousand men above twenty years old who complained against God and whom not a single one lived to enter the promised land except for Joshua and Caleb, should cast any further doubt you may have about all of God’s Word being fulfilled. If you still do, you need to pray to God to forgive you and to help you trust His Word.
I believe that the greatest and most Word of God to man is His promise of forgiveness of sins and the consequent gift of eternal life to anyone who will repent and trust His Son Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Jesus said, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) If you will trust Christ right now for your salvation, you can be sure that He will save you and give you everlasting life. God always does what He says He will do - you can trust His Word with your life.
