Just as the Israelites wandered in the wilderness 40 years because of their rebellion, so too does God sometimes allow us to wander away from Him and suffer loneliness and lack of blessings when we rebel against Him. But God is faithful and just, and just as He restored the Israelites to their rightful place in His heart, He will always restore Christians to the place of blessing and intimate fellowship with Him if we repent and return to Him (1 John 1:9).
Kama vile Waisraeli walizurura jangwani miaka 40 kwa sababu ya uasi wao, hivyo pia wakati mwingine Mungu anaturuhusu sisi kuzunguka mbali naye na kuteseka upwekeni na ukosefu wa baraka wakati sisi tunaasi dhidi yake. Lakini Mungu ni mwaminifu na wa haki, na kama vile yeye aliwarejesha Waisraeli kwa nafasi yao katika moyo wake, Yeye daima atarejesha Wakristo kwa nafasi ya baraka na ushirika wa karibu pamoja naye kama sisi tutatubu na kurudi kwake (1 Yohana 1: 9).
