[@elizabethtrent7398]

If you don’t bring your doubts to God your doubts will drive you from God. Love that!

[@sarahsunshine78]

“It’s so much easier to trust His wrath than His grace.” Ooooh, conviction. Lord, I’m sorry.

[@spidalegs1]

I have to save these verses and remember to stop complaining and doubting. I trust God and should be grateful for all he has done instead of lusting for more.

[@daisyneuroth]

I couldn’t help but think of our current times while reading today’s passages. There is a lot of fear and rebellion in God’s people in these days. I want to cry out, “don’t forget what happened to the spies who provoked fear in the people! Don’t forget what happened when God’s people tried to go their own way!” Praise God we have Jesus! Someone to intercede for us like Moses did for them! Today’s reading encouraged me to ALWAYS look to God’s ways and God’s plans when things look bleak. Don’t fall for the blown up stories and doubt of what may be. Remember we have a powerful and merciful God who loves us and wants to be with us. I pray I will always be a believer who encourages with God’s word when times are hard and not be a fearful “spy” who freaks out and throws my hands up. I want to always call on God’s peace and be a light when it seems dark. Also, I LOVE that even in Moses’s time God gave a way for forgiveness for mistakes. What a merciful God! It really is about the heart and while we think we can hide that from others and even ourselves at times, we can’t hide that from God.

[@tinamuth]

That was so eloquently said, and certainly made me reflect. Thank you for posting.❤

[@cherylreed4377]

Amen!!

[@seektruth1760]

Amen!

[@terriblue9792]

Today was🔥🔥 God is teaching me to trust Him.. no matter the circumstances. Teaching me His character. lord God continue to fill me as I come to you and help me to not doubt. But when I do, I’ll come to You about it, and I know You’ll feed me❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@jaxisplayingtoday]

He is doing the exact same thing with me!!

[@nnennaudeh9536]

Amen.

[@debramccann7481]

I noticed in chapter 14 that once they started complaining and grumbling, doubt , rebellion, ungratefulness, fear, and ultimately rebellion soon followed. What a lesson for us in that! I loved Moses’ heart for the people. He again pleas to the LORD on their behalf and God does relent BUT not without consequences for the people. My God shot came out of 14:18-19 where it says that the LORD is LONGSUFFERING, MERCIFUL, FORGIVING but also JUST. They were so undeserving and so are we. So thankful for how much He loves us!

[@janepantaleao4099]

God bless 💓

[@9lemonlime]

"Don’t try to claim God's Promise without his Power or his Presence. " Wow think on that.

[@scgrandma8773]

A reminder for me how prayer can make a difference and how merciful God is. But also a reminder how our actions can impact our children.

[@jeffandvikipendergrass]

The Lord reminds the people, through Joshua and Caleb, that He is with them and not to fear their enemies. How easy it is to forget this. We need others to remind us & we need to remind others. Psalm 90:17 is my prayer this morning, "Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!"

[@agobonyoable]

I love it. The people wanted God's gifts more than they wanted God. A real tragedy...

[@jackietheg8025]

Do I trust God's wrath more than I trust His grace? That's my Godshot today. But even after the people rebelling and not trusting Him for the promised land He still speaks of when they come into the land...that He is giving to them!!! His mercy and grace are never-ending!!! Great is His faithfulness!

[@linacarmelasardo8458]

2024; we cannot ignore God’s direction; obedience is key and I trust you Father. Amen. Especially when I do not understand your ways. ❤

[@susanepperson2957]

Trusting is a difficult yet freeing experience in my walk with my Heavenly Father. I thank Him for always having His arms open for me. His mercy and Grace overwhelm me. Praise be!

[@hbrown5068]

Remember God. Remember His mercy. Remember, remember, remember. I think I’ll make a tassel. Remember. He’s Sovereign, He’s our Savior, our joy.

[@kamiliaball4731]

What a merciful, gracious God we serve. I love You Lord!!! 🙌🏼

[@tommyross8604]

Thank you TLC and your staff for all of the hard work and time that guys put into making these Bible Recap videos each day and every day!! You guys are amazing and your work is not in vain!! This is my first year going through the Bible Recap but my 6th year going through the Bible and I have to say that I am learning and growing more through the Bible Recap then I have grown over the last five years combined through all other yearly Bible devotional plans that I had journeyed through😊🙏🏼 Grateful and praying for you guys at the Bible Recap💞✝️💞

[@newlyweds]

Excited to see the Psalms coming into the Bible. Thank you for today’s recap. Happy to be on Day 60!!

[@2orgniz]

"If you don't bring your doubts TO God, they will drive you FROM God."

[@nnennaudeh9536]

So profound.

[@colettenorton6421]

This struck me today. It’s so true!!

[@Nicole.T.]

My Godshot was from Numbers 14:8-9. "They have no protection, but the Lord is with us!" It doesn't matter if you're outnumbered or not well equipped. If God is with you, you won't fail.

[@sharonjudd7786]

Day 60! I’ve so enjoyed every word. Loved seeing psalms today. Thank you❤

[@melodynowak709]

Several things here touched my heart.In 14:8 Caleb tells the people that if the Lord dights in them, they will be given the land, a good land. It always fills me with awe that the Lord might possibly choose to delight in humans who are so reliably fallible. He has forgiven them so many times, and He forgives us so many times. I am amazed that He would ever find us delightful, yet He does! He delights in our imperfect obedience. Thank You Father! I also love that God makes provision for immigrants (sojourners among you) to be treated with fairness and to have a way to access Him and develop a relationship with Him. He specifically mentioned them several times, explaining how they fit into His plan. And then in the Psalm, we are brought to a sober consideration of our brief lives compared to God's eternality and omnipotence. Finally, I loved what you said,"If you don't bring your fears and doubts to God, they will drive you away from God!" Powerful truth! God is not upset by my fear, but He wants me to turn to Him when I am afraid. He's where the joy is, after all! ❤

[@tinamuth]

Well said. Love what you wrote. Thank you ❤

[@patriciaruth3483]

Zephaniah 3:17 NIV, one of my favorite verses: “The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.”” ‭‭

[@MojisolaOdugbesan]

If you don't bring your doubts to God, your doubts will drive you from God. He is where the joy is

[@thedanaherfamily2970]

My God shot was the fact that the “new law” he added after their grumbling about not wanting to enter the land, was to add wine to most of the offerings. They found the large bunch of grapes in the land of Canaan when the 12 spies went and I believe God added the wine offering to remind the people of their lack of trust in Gods plan. ❤

[@MoJoslin]

Psalm 90:7-8 For we are brought to an end by your anger; by your wrath we are dismayed. You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. Thank You God that You brought me to the end of my rebellion! Thank You that Your anger and wrath against sin brought dismay to my heart! Thank You for changing me!! Thank You that not one sin is hidden from You so that on the cross every sin has been forgiven and washed away! Every sin of my heart can be brought to an end and I can be made pure by You and only You, my Lord, my God, my Abba! Thank You my God of everlasting to everlasting! In Christ name, Amen

[@valeriewhite2576]

Good morning family ❤️ have a blessed day in His Presence ❤️ He is where the Joy is 💯

[@trinigrant]

I love how you remind us to bring our doubts to the Lord because his mercy abounds towards us. He never goes back on his promises.

[@lindalloyd5749]

Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

[@katherinehall8151]

I love the language God used to describe Caleb and Joshua, He said they are “following me fully” in 14:24. Such a sweet reminder to follow God closely + wholeheartedly.

[@dharshana.22]

God reminded me to trust Him...The Israelites rebelled and faced consequences when they listened to and trusted man's (spies) words rather than God's (His promise)...This was probably like a test for them? as it is written the Lord had instructed Moses to send out the spies.. # Peoples's words give us fear, God's words give us Faith 😇 Godshot: God reminds us of who He is to help us trust Him more...even after all the rebellion God doesn't reject them completely but ends with "I am the Lord your God", He also gives the tassel as a reminder

[@linacarmelasardo8458]

What mercy , what integrity , what love; what faithfulness. Only You Father.🙏

[@AudAkos]

I learnt that complaining and doubt will lead to destruction; its important to keep praying and believing

[@vikkidunsmore3803]

I absolutely loved todays reading! I am in awe of the LORD’S love and mercy ❤ I also have come to admire this chosen, meek man called Moses. His Psalm 90 is one of my favorites ❤❤❤

[@tinamuth]

Amen.. I was just texting my friend about how much I am loving numbers, and Moses. I feel like today my eyes saw a different version of Moses?? I’m not sure what it was but what an amazing man. ❤

[@jeffandvikipendergrass]

From everlasting to everlasting He is God. - Psalm 90:2b The Psalm chapter spoke to me and I prayed verses 12 and 16-17 for me and my family. 🙏🏽

[@TheSteveBOliver]

Wow, rebellion, forgiveness, Sabbath laws, punishment and consequences of sins! The Lord replied, “I have forgiven them, as you asked. Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the Lord fills the whole earth, not one of those who saw my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times- not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it. Numbers 14:20‭-‬23 NIV

[@CattyHomesteader79]

My God shot is that even though humanity's rebellious behavior hasn't changed in millenia(I do see myself in the Israelites the more I reread these chapters), neither has His love.

[@ashleydowns7037]

I never realized psalms were response to happenings in rest of bible. The whole bible is aplicable for today

[@billybigelow411]

Thank you, TLC- Excellent Recap.

[@DonZimmerman52]

God is the God of Satisfaction. “Satisfy us each morning with Your unfailing love, so that we may sing for joy for the rest of our lives” (Ps 90:14). Indeed, Ps 90:14-17 would be good to memorize….But singing for joy is a response to living out the hardship of “the human condition”: we long for God’s enduring presence as though we are homesick (Ps 90:1 says “Through all generations, You have been our home,” and in Ps 90:5 “You sweep people away like dreams that disappear.”). In fact, some of our “children see Your glory” (Ps 90:16) before we ever had hoped that they would; they are “swept away.” And yet, Moses-who has seen sin and rebellion and misery and tragedy, cries out: “Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery! Replace the evil years with good.” (90:15). Shakespeare’s Romeo asked “Wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?” No! God fulfills the longing of our hearts with the love we truly desire-an unfailing love that we may sing of, every morning.

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

Amen!

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

Hey Bible readers!

[@KM-lu7nh]

"If you don't bring your doubt to God, your doubt will drive you from God." Wow! The man that was gathering wood on the Sabbath, was he an Israelite? I hope so, else how would he know the laws?

[@victoriaa9107]

I have learned a new thing to repent. My people let us repent together!

[@marcycasper-wg3nm]

This is why you don't want God's wrath on you. Trust God!

[@lisakaminski2335]

I really want the painting behind her 😂 seriously.

[@theresacunningham7724]

Day 60!!! Loving all of this❤️

[@Warriorforpeace758]

What stunned me in this passage was that God went forth and had the man stoned to death for gathering the firewood. 😢

[@thefranciscofam4225]

That kinda stunned me too, but after Tara explaining the difference between intentional sin and unintentional sin, I understand now. His heart must've been in the wrong place because he sinned deliberately against God. He knew what he was doing, so he got the harsher punishment.

[@scottbrockman5883]

Amen to that. I could see & know that the Israelites were disobedient and wandered in the desert for 40 years as it was mentioned in Hebrews 4:9, and again in Psalm 95:10 where it says that "For forty years I was disgusted with that generation, And said they are a people who err in their heart, And they do not know my ways. Therefore I swore in My anger, They certainly shall not enter My rest.” Aside from that that would be my "God Shot." I'm glad that I wasn't born in Biblical times where the Israelites had to wander in the desert for 40 years. It took them 40 years to get it right. This was also featured in the Spoken Gospel episode on KZbin 🙂✝️💒🤟👍🙏.

[@LindaCannon-m1j]

Woah! Numbers 14:11-12 gave me chills this morning. History repeating itself. I am reading the NLT. ”And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? Will they never believe me, even after all the miraculous signs I have done among them? I will disown them and destroy them with a plague. Then I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are!” ‭‭Numbers‬ ‭14‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Treating God with Contempt? Plague? Remind you of anyplace?

[@Dulceknits]

Life on earth without Jesus and God’s hedge of protection will in no doubt be the cause of many who will perish😢 People are proud and refuse to humble themselves. Lord, keep me humble and always trusting in you🙏🏼

[@Mamachuaof3]

I like the 1 degree at a time analogy! 🙏🏻

[@bobbiebland6826]

Good morning BR family! God is good all the time; all the time God is good. My faith and trust in God are always where the JOY is.💞💯

[@Tifyberry]

The Israelites had a low concept of God, disbelief can ruin a person or even an entire nation as painfully illustrated here. When someone does not trust God, the result is the inability to face life's challenges, and you and I can demonstrate confidence in the power of God. In chapter 15 he teaches us that God's purposes will always be fulfilled, and violations of God's laws always bring punitive consequences. That is why we must obey God's law because complying with the law brings tremendous benefits to our lives.

[@michellejones1523]

Beautiful! You preached a work of God’s Love for me and so many others. Ty

[@linacarmelasardo8458]

Thank You Father for Your mercy

[@chiomaukpai8804]

Moses gave up such a juicy offer because of rebellious isrealitues. This says a lot of Moses' character, Moses was not self centered. And in 14:23- God spared the isrealites according to Moses word.

[@Flippinkids82]

Beautiful explanation!! Thank you 😊

[@aaronwillard7317]

Great commentary today Tara I love the analogy of the battleship as well You're a very good at the way you do this I am very blessed to have you as a commentator a teacher a narrator thank you so much

[@umbrown]

2:30 To think Caleb & Joshua were the only Adults that came from Egypt who got to enter and live in the Promised Land. After reading about the Levites these past days, (Numbers 4:46-49 & 8:23-25) we know that the Levites serving in the Tabernacle had to be at least 25-30 years old. We know that Eleazar made it to the Promised Land (Joshua 19:51). Chances are that Ithamar made it too.

[@purposeseven_7]

*He's where the Joy is!*

[@chariswhaley8798]

My God shot one must be accountable for his or her own actions, and we have to take our punishment. But thank God He is merciful when He punishes His own

[@melodynowak709]

He is merciful to all, or the world would have been destroyed after Adam and Eve!

[@chariswhaley8798]

Yes you are correct, but I was focusing on how our God mercifully corrects His Children, Everyone is made in the image of God, but not everyone is His Children, out choice, I believe He knocks on everyone's door, But it is us who has to answer.

[@EduardoCalix-ck5ik]

Keep going!

[@olafjass-ee9hg]

Good morning 🌄 World ❤🙏

[@linacarmelasardo8458]

Love psalms. Amen

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

Thank you Tara-Leigh!

[@jensvoiceforyou7581]

It would be so helpful for you to share which verse you’re speaking about when you touch on it.

[@Warriorforpeace758]

Yes. Makes sense. Thanks for reaching out.

[@michellemybelle9591]

this. 🔥🔥🔥!

[@dianefrench1504]

I was hoping you would address the "God relents" section. Do you believe it is possible for God to change His mind, when He is outside of time and omniscient? Does this brings a whole new dimension to prayer and the effects of our free will on history?

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

God expresses emotions so maybe. I'm not sure. What a thought provoking notion you pose! Well done!

[@KM-lu7nh]

Yes, I've often wondering why we pray when God already knows what the outcome is going to be. Why would my prayer change anything? When I read through the Bible last year with TBR, I think TLC commented on this in one video, but I don't remember which one or what she said. So, I'm no help. 😕

[@sarahsmart3447]

So how do we keep the sabbath? Are we not supposed to do anything on Saturday? Seems impossible in today’s society..

[@julieann6769]

Poor Moses....I'm starting to think that the old black spiritual song "Nobody knows (the troubles I've seen)" was actually written by Moses, himself! Lol!

[@cmconcon]

Right! I feel like Moses is so under rated That man went THROUGH it!

[@antoinettehereford8180]

The people feared because of a bad report from the 10 spies. In 2 Timothy 1: 7, it says God doesn't give us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. Fear ultimately comes from a lack of trust in God to take care of us and do what He says He will do. God could have done away with the people, but Moses once again intercedes for them, reminding God in 14: 8 that He 'is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation.’ God relents (MERCY), but sin always has a consequence. Except for Caleb & Joshua, those 20 years old & up won't see the promised land, plus they will wander in the wilderness for 40 years. What a shame. Consequence for sin is also seen in 15: 32-36. Someone breaks the Sabbath & the punishment was death by stoning. I'm so glad we concluded with reading Moses' prayer in Psalm 90.

[@elizabethsummermeado]

I have a question about the levels of sin. I thought all sin was seen as the same - is this where the Catholic church gets their idea of different kinds/levels of sin? I grew up Catholic but over time have learned how the teachings can be very far from scripture. No offense to anyone, this is my own journey and I love all Catholics despite all I've learned (many family are still proclaiming Catholics). I'm just searching for more clarity on this sin topic now after what TLC pointed out. Can anyone help explain? Did Jesus change all this when he died?

[@rickwarner516]

So little time

[@raecharles80]

Worship your own jewelry. -lol!!

[@logical-reasoning]

Good Evening, Some of the Bible verses are not appropriate at all. For example Genesis 38, 9&10 "Anon slept with his brother's wife but spilled the semmen on the ground and therefore the Lord slew him"

[@giannastoneham308]

Thank God for John 3:16

[@logical-reasoning]

@@giannastoneham308 John 3:16 was changed by the scholars in 21st century Bible. The word "begotten son" was replaced by "one and only". Please don't mind Jesus never preached these "according to books of Mark, Matthew Luke and John" but the Gospel of Kingdoms of God.
