(Deu 1:19-46):
You do not have a chance to get a first opportunity. It is like the river that
continues on its way and will not return.
At the same time it is not wise to jump at the first
bargain because there are usually better deals if we wait patiently and spend
time checking things out. Seek ye first the kingdom (Mat 6:33).
Israel had departed from Egyptian bondage. They had the taste
of victory. They had endured privation, performed a toilsome journey, for one
object, and that was to possess Canaan; yet, when they touched the threshold of
the inheritance, they failed to rise to the vision of their privilege. They
hesitated, dawdled, feared, and failed. Men play with opportunity as with a
toy, and when their eyes open to see its value, lo! it has vanished. Possibly,
there is a supreme moment in every man's history; yet often he is too indolent
to improve it. Many reach the
margin of a glorious destiny, and then turn back to the desert, The path of
duty is very plain; but self-indulgence makes us blind as a mole. That is the
reason we must constantly keep in good communication with God and seek His
direction in everything.
