Dishonoring God

Numbers 20:1–13

August 16

Lesson 11

Devotional Reading : Psalm 95

Background Scripture: Numbers 20:1–13

he Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.”

What Do You Think?

• How could the Israelites have presented their concerns in a positive way? What can we learn from their bad example about how to express our own concerns to those in leadership positions?
• Under what circumstances do you find it necessary to get away from other people to go before the Lord as opposed to staying with those people for group prayer?
• What are some of the ways that the Lord responds to our complaints today? How have you grown spiritually as a result?
• How have you discovered that disobedience to God always leads to loss in some way? How have you grown through such experiences?
•  Which is the more accurate description of your home: place of contention or holy place? How can you make it more of the latter?
