Numbers 14:2-4 KJV
And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

We established a fact in part 1 of this discourse: Israel was a pampered people. God had take them from physical slavery and was taking thrm into total freedom but they were yet to see themselves as absolutely free. God has promised over and over again and had showed them over and over again that he had the power to do what he had promised. Water came out of strange places and in strange circumstances; seas parted at his command and the same sea swallowed up an entire army and its king. Food was miraculously provided and the protection from God was visible and effective. Yet, with all these, the people found reason to doubt God just at the point of realisation of the promise.
That's just like us too today. We hear God speak and we begin to subject what we have heard to our logic, reasoning and intellect. We need to understand how these things will be, forgetting that God needs no input from you to bring his own promises to pass. I need faith to realise God's plan for me but my faith or otherwise isn't what proves that God is God. He's God,no matter what I think or do.
The danger in not seeing as God sees is also seen in the journey of Israel. The people feared for their children and offspring, while God was already securing the future for the entire nation. The children were the ones who entered the promised land; all the adults died in the wilderness after 40years of aimless wanderings, except Joshua and Caleb, the other spies who saw what Godd had been showing them all these years. Unfortunately, they suffered delay together with the entire nation even though their sight and hearing was perfect.
God is really God.  Our hearts must seek him alone, with no distractions or competing interests. It is then that our sight will agree with what God has spoken and we can get to our own promised land.
His time of favour is here.
