In none of the Exodus records above can we find of any thanks giving to God for his grace or mercy or bounty. Quite simply, the Israelites never appear to have learned to give thanks to God. As born-again Christians we are, or should, be in a totally different position. We have the Bible available to us. How wonderful is that? And he fell down on his face at His feet, thanking Him.
And he was a Samaritan. And answering, Jesus said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were none found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner? How are we to be judged? Are we thankful and do we ever express it with all the love and joy and passion we can before an amazing God and King? Throughout the Exodus, the children of God constantly, constantly, criticised the leaders, Moses and Aaron.
For he had taken a Cushite woman. And they said, Has Jehovah indeed spoken only by Moses? Has He not also spoken by us? And Jehovah heard. Lest we forget, Jehovah is omnipresent and omniscient, always present and all knowing.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who will have all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is no authority but of God; the authorities that exist are ordained by God.
So that the one resisting the authority resists the ordinance of God; and the ones who resist will receive judgement to themselves. Again, an opportunity for Christians to exercise the art of tongue holding and remaining, but silent, but in supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks for our leaders, whomever they may be.
As Israel responded one by one to the nine tests above and failed one by one, the negative pattern of their response was set.
The tenth trial of the Israelites was held at Kadesh-barnea, for it was from there that the twelve spies where sent out to report back on the Promised Land, to Moses and the people. And this is the fruit of it. However, the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are walled, very great. And also we saw the children of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south, and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains.
And the Canaanites dwell by the sea and by the coast of Jordan. And Caleb stilled the people before Moses and said, Let us go up at once and possess it.
For we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we. And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched to the sons of Israel, saying, The land through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eats up those who live in it. And all the people whom we saw in it were men of stature. Against the words and wishes of Joshua and Caleb, the spies submitted an evil report.
And the whole congregation said to them, Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or, Oh that we had died in the wilderness! And why has Jehovah brought us into this land to fall by the sword, so that our wives and our sons should be a prey? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?
And they said to one another, Let us make a leader, and let us return to Egypt. I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel which they murmur against Me. Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against Me, you shall certainly not come into the land which I swore to make you live in, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Thus only Caleb and Joshua of that generation made it into the Promised Land. How many of our friends and family will be subject to a second death, because of unbelief? God has done it before, He is planning to do it again. We have been warned and the Word is there for us all to read and understand.
Oh Lord, please help us overcome our unbelief. The Lord God Almighty is a God of second chances. It is His ardent wish that none be lost, for we are all His children. He made us. He sustains us. He gave His Son that we may have life and the opportunity of forgiveness of our sins and entry to heaven to spend eternity there with Him. He gave us a guide, The Holy Bible, to show us how and tell us why. But it is all by His grace and His grace alone that we are saved.
