Doing God's will

Numbers
Why is it often difficult to see the fulfillment we can get out of doing God's will rather than our own?  It takes great faith to go out into the unknown and trust that God will deliver you.  But we can rest on previous experience and knowledge too, that we know God will come through.  The entire bible is a testimony to the grace of God, the trustworthiness of God.  The Israelites had to make a hard choice: invade a land of enemies and trust that God will prevail, or turn away from God's promised land and not have to face a hard situation.  Instead of doing what they did, and turn away, when you're faced with a clear opportunity from God that will bring immense joy and peace, go for it!  It may be tough work or take a lot of faith to get to that promise from God, but he'll see you through.  He was with the Israelites, even when they ignored him, and they eventually got to where God wanted them to go.  He is faithful.
