As Israel's leader, there where many times Moses spoke to God's people. This is one of them. Deuteronomy 6:3 NIV “Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you.” God was preparing to move them from a temporary place into a better place. A temporary place is a place you don't want to stay in. He was leading them out of a temporary place. Isn't that just like our loving God and Heavenly Father? He always wants to bring us into a better place.

You might think, I would never be like that. The truth is, unless you understand and firmly believe that God wants to bring YOU into a better place in YOUR life, then you're just like them. If you are trusting in YOUR ability to get you to a better place, then you're like them. As soon as your ability can’t get you further, you’ll panic in fear. Unless you know your covenant with God and have absolute faith that God wants to bring you into a better place, and unless you are believing for God to bring you into that better place, then you are like them.

Joshua and Caleb tried to silence the fears of the people. They told them to be quiet, and then assured them that God wanted them to go forward into the land of promise. They assured them of God's help and protection. But, the people did not listen and their unbelief so grieved God, He allowed none of them to enter—that is with the exception of Joshua and Caleb, the ones who believed and trusted Him.
God wants to bring you into a better place. What is a better place? You tell me. If you were once spiritually bankrupt and now you know that Jesus loves you, isn't that a better place? It is to me! If you were going to Hell but now you are going to Heaven, isn't that a better place? It is to me! If you used to live like the devil and now you live for God, isn't that a better place? It is to me!

God is a God of Covenant. As good as this covenant was with them back then, Jesus is the author of even a better covenant with us. Hebrews 7:22 & 8:6 "...Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant... superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises."
I praise God for His land of promise and declare to every Christian, He wants this for you! Even if you are in a great place, He has a better place. He has blessed me to be a blessing! Everything in my life is better than what it was, and it just keeps on getting better. It’s supposed to. That's what a land of promise looks like. That is what He wants for you—to be blessed so you can be a blessing! Have faith and trust this truth in your life today and everyday!
In His Love,
Pastor Tim Burt
