Today was my day to teach bible study & pray. My lesson was on Distractions which was great timing because it is lent season & there will be many distractions as we are obedient to FATHER. Scriptures cam from the book of Deuteronomy 2:26~30. The Israelites were left to dwell in the wilderness because of their faithless attitude toward GOD. A journey that was to last only 11 days lasted 40 years. It was not because they were lost. It was simply because they didn't trust GOD. GOD made them dwell until the old generation died off. Moses was a faithful servant to GOD but he made some mistakes causing him to not being able to enter the promiseland as well. That's another lesson to be learned. During their exodus they had to pass through the land of their enemies. GOD ordered them to keep the peace. Just pass through neither turn to your right or your left. Stay on a straight path. Unless you are hungry then you may buy food or water. The Israelites were warriors. Their enemies feared them because of GOD's power.
No one dared to fight the Israelites unless necessary. There was a distraction during their journey. Moses knew he has to pass through the land of King Sihon (known as the Kingshighway). Moses sent messengers warning the king of their journey. In order to pass through GOD had to hardened the kings heart so the Israelites could easily defeat them. The Israelites eventually defeats King Sihon and his army. And were able to pass through the land. The lesson today is there will be distractions in life but we must learn to depend only on GOD not ourselves. GOD has already cleared the path for us. We must trust and believe in HIM. HE will deliver us.
