Israel settled down and remained...
Numbers 25:1 Amp
Settling down... sounds good to most of us...
We long for routine...
Knowing what's next... brings a sense of security...
Change can be exhausting...
The problem with Israel's choice to settle... was that they were on a journey... and not yet to the end...
They had not reached the Promised Land... the place where God was leading them...
This settling down happened in the fortieth year of their wanderings... so close to the end... they settled for where they were...
Israel settled down and remained in Shittim,
and the people began to play the harlot
with the daughters of Moab...
Numbers 25:1 Amp
Israel settled... and in the settling came temptation...
The same is true for us...
When we stop moving forward with God... when we settle for where we are... and fail to pursue all He has promised... we set ourselves up to be led astray...
Beware settling for where you are... in your faith... in your relationship with Him... in your life...
Settling leads to distraction... unbelief... and doubt...
He is true to His Word... continue to seek... remember you are on a journey......
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
Psalm 84:5
