Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Forgiveness & MercyExemplo
August 27
Introduction
The Israelites fear God will betray them, leading them into a land where they won’t be able to survive. This makes God angry, but Moses pleads with God to save them. Joshua and Caleb, two of the leaders who had been chosen to explore the land the Israelites were about to enter, caution the people not to rebel against the LORD.
Today’s Scripture: Numbers 14:19
[Moses said:] “And now, LORD, according to the greatness of your unchanging love, forgive, I pray, the sin of these people, just as you have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
Today’s Reading
Numbers 14:1-25
Reflect
Why do the Israelites doubt God’s faithfulness? What do they threaten to do to Moses and the leaders (verse 10)? What do Joshua and Caleb say to the people (verses 6-9)? What does God say he will do to the people (verse 12)? How does Moses intercede (verses 13-19)? Have you ever experienced a time when you doubted God’s presence with you in the midst of struggle?
Pray
God, there are days when I experience doubt and fear. Reassure me and strengthen my faith. Remind me of the many ways you have watched over and guided me. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those who are preparing to move into a new community
