42Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you. 43For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”
44But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp. 45Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
My mother warned me, Do Not Go!
“When God was with them, they did not think it was enough; now that God was not with them, they thought they could do it.” (Guzik)
Have you ever decided to go somewhere and your mother told you, do not go!
But you went anyway only to be caught up in a disaster?
I could see Moses yelling from the rooftop, do not go, but they did not listen!
Just like us when we didn’t listen to our mother the Israelites learned the hard way.
If you could do a “do over”, would you have listened to your mother?
Reminds me of a song!
Blessings
