“font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:”>God is very merciful and forgiving but He has very low tolerance for doubt and unbelief. If you stop right now and take a good look back over your life and all the many things God has already brought you through, all the miracles He has performed for you and all the times He showed up and showed out on your behalf, doubt would not stand a chance.

Between the big miraculous deliverance from Exodus and the command to enter the promised land in the Book of Numbers, 10 of the 12 Israelites had totally lost their confidence and trust in God’s mighty Hand because they began walking by sight and not by faith.

God did not want them to get to their dreams and allow some giant to cause them to doubt His promises.

“font-size: 9.0pt; font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family:”>And the same for us today we must trust that God will never leave us nor forsake us even in our wilderness. If you murmur or complain about your situation, then it’s obvious that you do not trust or believe God for victory. Stop complaining and start training your mouth to speak God’s word until you see your manifestation.
