Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneНамуна

For You are my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name’s sake, lead me and guide me (Psalm 31:3).

Are you wandering aimlessly?

Moses informs us, “It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea” (Deuteronomy 1:2). What should have been an eleven-day trek for the nation of Israel turned into a forty-year wilderness wandering, with only two of the original wanderers (Joshua and Caleb) ever entering the Promised Land.

The writer of Hebrews elaborates about those twenty years old and above who wouldn’t be permitted to enter Canaan: “Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and saw My works forty years” (Hebrews 3:8-9). What kept them out of Canaan? The author of Hebrews concludes, “So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief” (Hebrews 3:19).

Employment Point: Walk by faith, obeying God’s Word to avoid aimless living.
