This morning’s verses speak of His abundance. The Lord speaks through Isaiah that His land will be filled with silver and gold. But there is something more valuable that will not perish - our faith in the Lord. (See 1 Peter 1:5-7) The Scripture teaches us that faith is like gold that has been tested in a fire. Tests and trials test our faith in God. And we come to realize that it is worth more than gold. Our faith in God will not perish. In other words, the greater the tests

This morning’s verses speak of the consequences of sin. Where is our primary focus? Is our focus on what has eternal value or what is only temporary?

This morning's verses talk about the Israelis taking territories in the promised land. The Scriptures tell us that the Israelis were faced with oppositions mightier than them. Are we faced with challenges bigger than ourselves that require His faith? We may misunderstand that when faced with problems that are bigger than ourselves, we have made a wrong choice. But this is not the truth. The Bible teaches us that without faith, it is impossible to please Him. (Ref Hebrews 11:6

This morning's verses talk about the reports Moses received from the spies. What is keeping us from experiencing the breakthroughs in our lives? For the Israelis, it was their lack of faith to conquer the promised land. How about us? In this age of social media, and even the customs of this world, can blind us to the truths taught in the Scriptures, which may distort our ideas about a certain topic that they should be approached and done in a certain way that can even be unbi
