Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
If I'm looking for proof that belief and obedience are tightly woven together, I need look no further than Exodus and Numbers. The story of Israel's flight from Egypt to the Promised land is filled with examples. Ex. 32:26-28 when 3000 died for worshipping the golden calf. Num. 11:31-34 as the Israelites craved other food than the manna provided. Or Num. 14, the record of Israel's rebellion and banishment to the wilderness until all had died who refused to obey the LORD and trust Him by entering the Promised Land.
Today's readings in the Psalms:
Morning: Psalm 10
Mid-day: 119:81-88
Evening: Psalm 85
