Wandering

Forty years have gone by, the scriptures are silent concerning them, except for the list of journeyings (chapter 33., and Psalm 90., which seems to have been written at this time). Notice its mournful words, “We are consumed in thine anger, our days are turned away in thy wrath, Oh, Lord, let it repent thee, teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Let us teach and take the warning. In Israel’s fall we should see our dangers, and avoid the rocks which are here charted for our guidance. Above all things, avoid a discontented, murmuring, contentious spirit.
