Have you ever been so close to a breakthrough, only to let fear hold you back? Israel stood at the edge of the Promised Land. They had seen God’s miracles, yet doubt clouded their trust. Instead of stepping forward in faith, they gave in to fear, choosing rebellion over obedience. The result was wandering and waiting—a delay they brought upon themselves. We face similar choices today. Will we trust God when the next step feels risky? Or will fear and doubt keep us stuck? God is compassionate and patient, but His desire is that we move forward with Him. Trusting His promises opens doors to new beginnings. Even when we mess up, His mercy calls us back. Let’s choose to obey, remembering that God’s way always leads to life.
