God’s Coming Great Reset, Pt 2
In the coming days, we will increasingly be funneled into the coming world order. It may seem that we are overwhelmed on all sides. But like Joshua and Caleb, we must resist the temptation to think that God has forgotten us and cannot deliver us.

If we instead continually seek to see Him and His provision, I believe God will respond to our faith accordingly by granting discernment and wisdom.

They couldn’t possibly know. This also tells us how lax the nation of Israel had become regarding the Law of God and the sacrifices. It appears there was a large vacuum where God was concerned in the very nation He created.
