The scene in this picture is very different than it was just a few minutes earlier.
The colors have faded away; the orange and pink that were so apparent have vanished as if they were never there.
Two thoughts I have here. As we read the holy words and God speaks to us:
1) write down our thoughts and
2) respond to the words to which the Spirit has directed our hearts
In the following text we see that these people had followed God to the promised land but they no longer believed the promise.
The colors faded on the journey. They could not believe God at the threshold of the promised territory because they had not responded to him by faith on the journey.
They still had a “picture” of the promise but the colors had faded because of their unbelief.
Hebrews 3.
7 So, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear his voice, 8 do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert, 9 where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did. 10 That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, `Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’
