Some People Can Not Go With You

In Numbers 11, we see a situation where the Children of Israel, after being delivered from Egypt by God, started complaining. They doubted and stopped relying on God. The catalyst for their complaints can be found in verse 4, which states that "the foreign mob who were traveling with the Israelites began to crave the good things of Egypt. And the people of Israel also began to complain." The complaints originated from the presence of those who had joined them from the land God had rescued them from. It is important to be cautious about the company we keep, as they can bring us down, implant negative thoughts, and persuade us to act against God's guidance for our lives. We must remember, "Tell them they can't come with you!" We need to be aware of Satan's strategy to undermine our faith through the negative attitudes and comments of those around us.

The children of Israel seemed to believe that a life of slavery was preferable to their current situation in the wilderness. When faced with difficulties, it is natural to sometimes look back at our past with longing, especially if there are people in our journey who constantly remind us of the supposed goodness of our previous life. However, we must firmly assert, "Tell them they can't come with you!"
