REVOLT AND IMPACIENCE

"The Lord is longsuffering, and full of mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, which the guilty does not hold innocent, and visiteth the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." Numbers 14:18

How often do we get impatient with something or someone letting that feeling take away our peace and leading us to sin with attitudes, words.

The revolt appears and we want to give up or challenge by channeling all this negative energy into our lives. The consequences are not always the best: revolt and impatience can be great ingredients for isolation, ingratitude, fights etc. The people of God often rebelled against God because he did not understand and did not wait for God's will. In Numbers 14: 01-25 we can see clearly the revolt that the people had and the consequences that this revolt could have caused because God was not at all pleased with the ingratitude of the Jews: "How long will this people reject me?" Numbers 14:11. But Moses intercedes for the people asking for God's mercy and forgiveness for the Jews. However, there were consequences, as in everything we do: those who rejected God did not enter the promised land. It is important to reflect that everything we do will have consequences, and it is up to us to choose our actions so that the consequences are not negative but positive, and according to the will of God. "I, the Lord, have patience and much compassion; I forgive wickedness and sin, but I do not treat the guilty as innocent. "Numbers 14:18.
