Knowing The God Of The Promise
What is your response when you haven’t received what God has promised you? The children of Israel murmured and complained when they became disappointed, wandering in the wilderness. But Moses and Joshua kept a spirit of faith before God, and they obtained more than the Promised Land — they gained a personal relationship with Him. God usually begins with a promise that is about something on a physical, natural level. But there is also a promise of a new covenant in which He says, “ they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them” (Jeremiah 31:33-34). That new covenant is what Moses pursued when he said, “Show me Your Glory.” Joshua had a similar response — I’m going to live in Your presence. And forty years later, not only was he just as strong, but his heart and spirit were transformed. There is no such thing as delay when we use every moment to pursue the knowledge of the Lord and cry out to know Him.
