SECOND OPINIONS

Today's reading: Deuteronomy 1-3

"Look! He has placed it in front of you. Go and occupy it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. Don't be afraid. Don't be discouraged. But you responded, First let's send out scouts to explore the land for us. They will advise us on the best route to take and decide which towns we should capture." Deuteronomy 1:21-22 NLT

God has said it.

God has presented it.

God has ordained it.

God has allowed it.

God has gotten them this far.

God has gifted them with this land.

And they want a second opinion?

A report from their own scouts?

They were wanting to make sure the Lord was right. That God had a handle on the situation. That the Creator knew just what was ahead.

Laughable? It might be if it weren't so personal.

Is Facebook your second opinion?

Do social norms approve or deny what God is leading you to do?

Are friends your voting constituency?

None of us are laughing now.
