This was God's instruction to the Israelites when they were going to the promised land, the Land of Canaan, the land flowing with milk and honey, the Land they will be living in houses they didn't build, the Land they will be eating from crops they didn't plant. God told the Israelites that He is sending the former occupants of that Land out of there because they were doing abominable things to God. They were serving idols, God then told the Israelites not to serve their gods when God has given them peace and victory over all their enemies, when God has given them plenty to eat that they can easily eat whatever they like anytime. God warned them that is not the time to start looking for how to make God angry by worshipping idols like the people of the Land. This message is also coming to us today in this nowadays, we are not to read the instruction of God as history, we should take it that God is talking to us too. For people God gives chance to travel to a good country that everything is in order, but the people there are not honouring God, just like some countries that have legalized homosexuals, when God takes any of His children to such lands to prosper financially, don't join them in the abominable things they do, don't join them to do gay or lesbianism, it's abomination to God. Don't join them to smoke, don't join them to do fake marriage to get documents. Trust God to work things out for you in His most perfect way that will not make you sin against God and God will be glorified. Same goes to whatever high positions God takes us or whatever people in higher positions God gives us chance to meet, we are not to join them to sin, but rather we should preach to them about Jesus Christ and His salvation. God never forgets His own. We should not be worried so much how we want to overcome the situation to the point of agreeing to sinful options. Sinful options always limit how great God wants to perform. May God help us to always have grace to overcome temptations. Amen.
