day no. 16,827: the two who wanted to take the land

Numbers 26: 64-65

But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. For the Lord had said of them, "They shall surely die in the wilderness." And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

No one numbered in the initial census was numbered in this final one, save Caleb and Joshua. Those who grumble in the wilderness die in the desert. The only ones who entered their Father’s land of milk and honey were those who entered the wilderness drinking their mother’s milk.

Not a single sourpuss survived. A diet of grumblecakes makes one wax fat… and kick.

Matthew 5:5

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

The faithful spies survived. The two who wanted to take the land for King and kingdom lived to see it taken. They inherited milk and honey and everything else along with it.

Matthew 6:33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Seek Christ and His kingdom comes.
