They would rather have died in Egypt or in the wilderness than to die in the land of Canaan in the will of God.
You will die in 1 of 3 places:

Land of Canaan – in the will of God and victorious.
Their attitude was they wanted to die anywhere else than in the will of God.

In the will of God or in the wilderness out of God’s will for your life?
Where do you want to die?
You have the opportunity to choose where you die!
Only hope for the lost world is Christians living in obedience to God for their life.
What those in the wilderness were known for was: murmuring and materialism.
What will your choice be? Where are you going to die?
