Pembacaan Alkitab: Bilangan 14
Orang Israel tidak mau maju karena mereka takut akan orang-orang yang tingal di Kanaan. Mereka takut dan tidak percaya bahwa mereka dapat menang bila Tuhan bersama dengan mereka, walaupun mereka telah melihat mujizat dan kuasa tangan Tuhan atas mereka selama perjalanan mereka. Dan akibatnya Tuhan menghukum mereka karena ketidak-taatan, ketidak-percayaan dan hinaan mereka kepada Tuhan. Tuhan menegur dan menyuruh mereka pergi dan akan mengembara di padang gurun selama 40 tahun sebelum generasi baru dapat masuk ke dalam tanah perjanjian. Setelah mereka ditegur dan mendengar hukuman mereka, maka menyesallah Israel dan mereka ingin maju untuk berperang ke dalam tanah perjanjian, tetapi Tuhan tidak beserta mereka sebab waktu-Nya telah lewat dan mereka telah menyia-nyiakan kesempatan dan waktu yang Tuhan berikan. Biarlah kita belajar dari kesalahan Israel agar kita juga tidak ketinggalan akan kesempatan dan waktu yang Tuhan berikan kepada kita untuk melakukan bagian kita dan untuk melihat janji Tuhan terjadi. Janganlah biarkan segala hal yang negatif dan buruk di sekitar kita membuat kita takut, khawatir, lupa akan kuasa Tuhan dan bahkan menggerutu dan menyalahkan Tuhan. Tetapi biarlah kita tetap teguh, ingat akan janji-Nya dan jangan menunda-nunda apa yang Tuhan telah siapkan dan bukakan bagi kita.

Bible Reading: Numbers 14
The Israelites did not want to march forward because they were afraid of the people in Canaan. They were afraid and did not believe that they could win if the Lord is with them, even though they have seen the miracles and power of God over them along their journey. And consequently, the Lord punishes them because of their disobedience, disbelief and blaming on God. The Lord rebuked and told them to go and they have to wander around in the desert for 40 years before the new generation can enter the promised land. After they were rebuked and heard of their punishment, they regretted what they did and then they wanted to march forward to the promised land, but the Lord was not with them because His time has passed and they have wasted the opportunity and time that the Lord gave. Let us learn from the mistake of Israel sot hat we would not also miss the opportunity and time that the Lord has given to us to do our part and to see His promises come true, Do no let the negative and bad things around us makes us afraid, worry, forgot about power of God and even grumble and blames God. But let us keep strong, remember of His promise and do not delay what the Lord has prepared and open for us.
