Tonight’s lesson comes from the Israelites traveling through the wilderness with Moses.
📖 Numbers 21:8
“Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.”
God had already done incredible things for them. He freed them from Egypt, parted the Red Sea, and provided for them in the wilderness.
But they kept losing faith and complaining against God.
Eventually venomous snakes came among them, and many people were bitten. The people realized they had sinned and asked Moses for help.
God gave Moses a strange instruction: make a bronze snake, put it on a pole, and anyone who was bitten could look at it and live.
They didn’t have to understand why.
They just had to trust God enough to look.
I think sometimes we’re the same way. God has brought us through difficult things before, but when another struggle comes, we quickly forget what He’s already done.
Faith means remembering.
When life gets difficult, instead of only looking at the problem in front of us, look toward God and trust Him.
And just like training, when things get hard, don’t forget all the difficult things you’ve already made it through.
Remember where your strength comes from, trust God, and keep going.
