Summary
God has set the Promised Land aside for the Israelites and he had promised it to Abraham. When it came time for the Israelites to take the land they suddenly got cold feet and were scared because the land while filled with milk and honey, was filled with giants and people that would kill them and eat them. They collectively complained and cried out and refused to go into the land. God was not happy with them and really just wanted to wash his hand of them by killing them all. Instead Moses convinced Him to allow them to live but they ones older than 18 would never enter the land, they would have to wander in the desert for 40 years. God was not real happy about their unwillingness to go where He told them and do what He told them. They wanted to argue and complain and go back. Many of us do the same today, pray for deliverance but then when the door is opened we complain and hold back not willing to take God on His word and go in faith to do what He wants us to do.
