MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Wednesday August 12, 2020
Topic: Graves of Greediness
Text: Numbers 11:31 – 34
In our devotion of yesterday, we saw how God handled the complaint
of Moses by putting His spirit into 70 men who were made his assessors in the
government.
Today, we read how God answered to the complaint of the people by
giving them meat to eat. As they were eating the meat, the anger of God aroused
against them. He sent plagues on them which killed many of them. God may in
wrath give men what they desire, to show them and others the wickedness and
folly of wishing to have their own way, and refusing to be guided and governed
by Him. The death of many there as a result of the plague made Moses to call
the place Kibroth Hattaavah, meaning “the
graves of greediness.”
Brethren, it is often better for us when we accept ‘NO’ from God as
we make our requests. A young Christian sister was looking for job. She heard
of job opportunity somewhere and she fasted and prayed for that particular job
because she was very much interested in it due to juicy allowances attached to
it. God refused to grant her request. She kept persisting and God finally let
her have her way. The job denied this lady time for God again. At last she
backslid and one day on her way to keep appointment for the company she died on
road accident within 2 years of getting that job.
This is similar in marriage, fruit of the womb, etc. God knows the
best for us. We should always allow Him to have His way or we should better
learn to obey and be submissive to Him.
Food for Thought: Romans 1:24, 26
Memory verse: Numbers 11:34
Prayer: Lord, grant me the grace to accept your verdict about my life in
Jesus name.
