What
does the phrase, “time is of the essence,” mean to you? It implies an essential
need to take immediate action. In Numbers 13 Moses sent a team of men to
explore the promised land. Two brought back a good report encouraging Moses to
immediately take possession of this rich land of opportunity. It was the moment
to take delivery on what God provided.
However, obstructions consisting of fear
and doubt gave loud voice to objections that resulted in forty years of wandering
in the desert of poverty rather than enjoying the prosperity of a land filled
with milk and honey. God's allowed Israel to sabotage a great opportunity by
rejecting his perfect plan and timing.
It's
hard to let go of what is known, yet God will ask us to do that. God expects us
to be submissive to his leadership and to act accordingly. We will be held accountable
for our choices. However, God’s love and goodness, his insight and wisdom, give
us confidence to make changes that correspond to the opportunities he places
before us.
