God Was Not Pleased With Most Of Them

1 Corinthians 10:1-5 - For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.


Numbers 14:28-30,34 - Say to them, ‘As I live, declares the Lord, what you have said in my hearing I will do to you: your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness, and of all your number, listed in the census from twenty years old and upward, who have grumbled against me, not one shall come into the land where I swore that I would make you dwell, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun…According to the number of the days in which you spied out the land, forty days, a year for each day, you shall bear your iniquity forty years, and you shall know my displeasure.’

Joshua 1:2 - “Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel.

Application:

· In spite of the remarkable privileges given to me, do I fail to obey God? Am I incurring His displeasure?
· Am I in submission to Christ as my Savior and Lord?
· Is Christ my sustenance, my bread and water of life?
· Have I brought upon myself my punishment?
· Am I in rebellion against God?
· Are God’s promises being fulfilled with me, or without me?
