“At the edge of the beautiful land God had promised them, they didn’t trust His words, so they refused to enter.” (Psalm 106:24 VOICE)
Our new puppy has a habit of pausing at transition spots. When he approaches doorways or different surfaces like gravel, he sniffs and pulls back several times before moving forward. We go before him and try to coax him with treats. However, he remains skeptical of our judgment. He wants to figure out for himself whether a space is safe or not. The enticements we offer are no match for his doggedness.
The Israelites were similarly mistrustful. God offered them milk and honey in the beautiful promised land, but they didn’t trust His words, so they remained on the edge and refused to enter. They trusted their instincts more than they trusted their God.
How about you? Do you trust God’s promises?
Are you pacing at the edges, reluctant to move through transition phases? OR--
Are you ready to cross the threshold of trust and enter into what God has planned for you?
