7Remember this, and never forget how you provoked the LORD your God in the wilderness. From the day you left the land of Egypt until you reached this place, you have been rebelling against the LORD.
“God’s purpose in reminding Israel of their rebellions against Him was not to discourage them or to make them feel defeated. The purpose was so that they would recognize their own weakness and trust in Him.” (Guzik)
1 Corinthians 10: 11Now these things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come.
When we remember our sinful nature, we walk in the poverty of spirit Jesus said was essential to a life of blessing:
Matthew 5: 3“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Have you been rebelling against the Lord?
Blessings
