Our view of ‘bad place’ and ‘very good place’

In our view of bad place, there is no this, no that and so on (Num. 20:5).

In other words, in our view of bad place, we feel a lot of thing that are lacking.

That’s why in bad place, we fall on our faces and cry out to God (v. 6).

Then God hears our cry out in that bad place and speaks to us (vv. 7-8).

But we aren’t obeying that word of God in faith and manifesting God’s holiness (v. 12).

Nevertheless, in that bad place, God even hears our voice of resentment and fills our needs (v. 11).

Isn’t this God’s grace?

In our view of bad place is the place where we experience God’s grace!

In our view of very good place (Judg. 18:9)

Is the place where people who are in it living in security (v. 7) and

there is no lack of anything that is on the earth (v. 10).

In our view of very good place, the people live in quiet and secure (v. 27).

That’s why we don’t feel the need to pray to God.

Therefore in the end, we commit the sin of serving idols in that very good place (v. 30).  

In our view of very good place is a place where we commit sin of idolatry.
