Numbers 14:1-12 (http://www.biblegateway.com)
New International Version (NIV)
The People Rebel
14 That night all the members of the community raised their voices and wept aloud. 2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness! 3 Why is the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” 4 And they said to each other, “We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.”
10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the Lord appeared at the tent of meeting to all the Israelites. 11 The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the signs I have performed among them? 12 I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they.”
Do you ever feel like God is asking you to do something that is not popular? Perhaps its to take a stance, to behave differently, not to partake in a certain activity, to bring a matter up to a friend who has miss- stepped, etc.
Are we willing to be a Moses, an Aaron, a Joshua or a Caleb? Are we willing to take a stance for our God, for what is right?
