KEY VERSE: ‘Let me pass through your land; I will keep strictly to the road, and I will turn neither to the right nor to the left.
Daily Fountain Devotional For Wednesday, MESSAGE
Today, we see Moses the leader of the Jews trying to negotiate with Sihon, King of Heshbon, to allow them pass peacefully through his land to the Promised Land. However, King Sihon refused to allow them pass through his territory and also confronted them with war. His adamant behaviour lead to loss of his land and the killing of his people whom he ought to have protected. God’s plan of giving his land to the Israelites became fulfilled.
As Christians, our hearts must be open to ‘godly’ negotiations. Rigidity must not be applied in all cases. Wisdom is the principal thing, and this we can apply when the Spirit of God dwells within us. Perhaps, Such wisdom would have averted the war and spared the people of Heshbon. Before we make up our minds on any issue, we must inquire of God at every given point on what to do. Do you have an unsettled issue with your wife, husband, brother, sister, friend? Avoid confrontation and quietly discuss the problem with a view to finding a solution. Don’t create the environment or be an instrument to fulfil negative prophecies in the bible!
PRAYER: Lord, please give me a discerning spirit to be able to judge situations as you would. Amen.
