Numbers 32:13The Lord’s anger burned against Israel and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who had done evil in his sight was gone.

The reason why the Israelites were in the wilderness walking around the mountain for so many years was because there were some things they had to do, things they had to learn, and areas they had to mature in before entering the promise land.

In our life, in order for us to stop walking around the mountain and walk into the promise God has for us, there are some things we have to do, things we have to learn, and areas we have to mature in.

The things we have to do, learn, and mature in are the following:
1. Believe in the finished works of Jesus Christ.
2. Be led by the Holy Spirit.
3. Act on God’s word by walking in faith and not fear.

We have to believe with all of our being that Jesus Christ has provided and made available all the things we would ever need or desire in this life. Next, we must be led by the Spirit. The Holy Spirit positions us to receive God’s best in our lives. After being positioned, our faith lays hold to the promise until the promise comes to pass.

Let’s quit going around in circles never pushing the limits of our faith and let’s receive what God has for us and impact the world.
