Promise 18 from Numbers 14:31

Numbers 14:31 - "'Your children however, whom you said would become a prey - I will bring them in, and they will know the land which you have rejected.'" - God is telling Moses to tell the people, who had little faith in Him, that they will not enter the promised land, yet their children, for whom the Israelites feared would fall to the hands of the enemy, will be allowed to enter the land and they will be the reapers of the promised land. Fear can cause harsh consequences. The Israelites automatically assumed, without giving God a single thought, that they would be overtaken by the Amelekites and their children would become their slaves or killed. They automatically threw away all that they know about God, all that they've seen and heard from Him and let fear of what "possibly could happen", in their own minds, guide their thoughts and actions. This happens so very much in the lives of people. It is one of the strongest tools of the enemy; he temporarily wipes the memory of what God has done in our lives and what He has promised so that the door is opened to fear. So many blessings have been missed out on because of fear. God always keeps His promises, but people don't always receive them. Can you imagine what this world would look like if believers simply trusted in God, in His promises and that He is who He says He is?
