1). God is no respecter of persons. In early January of 2013 me and Missy were listening to a series by John Bevere entitled Honors’ Reward. In that series he made the statement that in Numbers 14 when Israel refused to believe God about going into the Promised Land, they lost their calling. On Sunday morning 1/20/13 as I was putting on the finishing touches of my message I was going to teach at church that morning, John Bevere’s statement combined with the awareness of my previous study concerning the brevity of Scripture concerning the first generation of israelites finally dawned on me. This group of Israelites was called by God to be the people prophesied by the Hebrew fathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and even Moses to go into the Promised Land, but because of their unbelief, they were denied by God and sentenced to wander in the desert for forty years, until everyone in that generation died. They lost their calling. Even, Moses, the leader of the group prophesied to go into the Promised land was denied by God to enter the Promised land because of sin (Numbers 20:2-12). Saints, if God does not show respect to Moses, for his sin, he will not show respect for our sin. Our toleration of our sin could cause us to lose our reward.
