—1 Corinthians 10:1-7
by: Linda Harris.
Today’s reading refers to the Israelites in the wilderness. Because they were afraid to do what God commanded, they ended up spending 40 years in the desert, complaining about it the whole time. If they had stepped out of their comfort zone and decided to enter the Promised Land, they could have skipped the wilderness years.
I wonder how often we must stay in an unpleasant situation just because we refused to do what may have seemed dangerous but really was the will of God. The thought makes me think twice before choosing the safer route, especially if God seems to be speaking.
