NOMIPA 13-14 (NUMBERS 13-14)

VEESI LAULOTO: TEUTALONOME 31:8

Pea ko Sihova ko ia ia ‘oku hā‘ele mu‘omu‘a ‘iate koe; te ne ‘iate koe ‘e ia, ‘e ‘ikai te ne fakatukuhāusia‘i koe, ‘uma‘ā ha‘ane li‘aki: ‘oua ‘e manavahē, pea ‘oua ‘e lotosi‘i.

MEMORY VERSES: DEUTERONOMY 31:8
It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.

Na’e fekau’i atu ‘e he Ha’a ‘Isileli ha kau asiasi ‘e toko 12 ki Kenani, fonua ‘o e tala’ofa, ko e teuteu ki he’enau ‘ohofi ‘a e fonua.  Neongo na’e ‘osi fekau’i ‘e he ‘Otua ke nau hu ki he fonua, na’e foki mai ‘a e toko 10 mo ha fakamatala fakalotosi’i pea nau pehe ke ‘oua te nau hu he ‘oku fu’u kaukaua mo malohi ‘a e kakai ‘o e fonua.  Ko Siosiua pe mo Kelepi na’a na faka’ai’ai ‘a e kakai ke nau talangofua ki he fekau ‘a e ‘Otua ke nau hu ki he fonua ‘o ‘oua te nau manavahe.  Ka koe’uhi ko e fakamatala fakalotosi’i na’e omi mo e toko 10, na’e tautea’i kinautolu ‘e he ‘Otua ‘o ne tala ‘e ‘ikai te nau hu ki Kenani.  Ko e taha ‘o e ‘ulungaanga tefito ‘o e ‘Otua ‘oku ha ‘i he Fuakava Motu’a ko ‘Ene Fakamaau Totonu, ‘a ia ne ha ‘i he talanoa ko ‘eni.  Koe’uhi ko e Fakamaau Totonu ‘a e ‘Otua, na’e ‘ikai te ne faka’ata ‘a e kakai angatu’u ko ‘eni ke nau ma’u ‘a ‘ene ngaahi tapuaki.  Fakafeta’i, ko ‘etau tui falala kia Sisu ‘oku fe’unga ‘anoa pe ia ke fakafiemalie’i ‘a e fakamaau totonu mo e houhau ‘a e ‘Otua koe’uhi ko ‘etau ngaahi angahala.  Pea ‘oku kei fiema’u pe ‘e he ‘Otua ‘a e talangofua mei he’ene kakai.  ‘Oku malava ketau talangofua ki he ‘Otua ‘o fou ‘i he ivi ‘o e Laumalie Ma’oni’oni.  Ko e tupulekina ‘o e mo’ui talangofua mo e mo’ui falala ki he ‘Otua, ko e kaveinga ia ‘a e mo’ui ‘a e kalisitiane.

The Israelites sent 12 scouts into Canaan, the promised land, in preparation for invasion. Although God had commanded the people to enter the land, ten of the spies returned with a negative report and warned the people not to enter because of the size and strength of the inhabitants. Only Joshua and Caleb urged the people to overcome their fears and to obey God's command to enter. As a result of the negative report, God punished the nation by declaring they would not be allowed enter Canaan. One of the character traits of God made evident throughout the Old Testament is His justice, which is on display in this tragic scene.

Because God is just, He could not allow a rebellious people to claim His blessing. Thankfully, faith in Jesus alone is enough to satisfy God's just wrath against our sin, but God still expects obedience from His people. We are able to obey Him through the power of His Holy Spirit. Growing in obedience and trust is the focus of the Christian life.
