After waiting more than 400 years to enter the land of promise God’s people had one more hurdle to cross. It was not distance or dryness, it was not circumstance or opportunity. It was the condition of the heart. In this study from the book of Numbers we will journey with these from long ago and be challenged with our own matters of the heart. We will be able to take a self examination of where we stand in our love and allegiance to our God. In so doing we can break free from what is holding us back from the joy, contentment and purpose we were meant to have. Are you willing to deal with your own matters of the heart?
