Numbers. It's a dangerous thing to disobey God, then try to undo it by disobeying Him again. Far too often, parents let their kids "whine them" into changing a decision. God won't be manipulated like that! God is faithful; that means He is faithful to His promises. In this situation, the people didn't repent; they just tried to avoid the consequences. What a lesson!
Today we discover another great reason to read the Bible in chronological order. In Psalms 90 Moses reviewed the sins of his people and God's response, then said, "We wither beneath your anger; we are overwhelmed by your fury." Their predicament led to Moses' cry, "O Lord, come back to us! How long will you delay? Take pity on your servants!"
