While the Israelites were en route to the Red Sea, they spoke against God and against Moses. Numbers 21:4-5
God sent snakes and some died. Others went to Moses and rebuked and asked that the snakes would be taken away. Numbers 21:6-7
Moses prayed and God gave instructions to overcome the snakes bites. He did not take the snakes away. Numbers 21:8-9
In Revelation 3:7-13, the message to the Church in Philadelphia and Revelation 3:14-22, the message to the Church in Laodicea are powerful stories of being an over comer and the benefits that are in store for those that endure.
May 2014 be a year of overcoming.
Two great videos for a positive outlook and encouragement. Both are worth watching.
