Moses reviews with the Israelites how God brought them to the Promised Land and they would not go in to take possession because they were afraid. Moses reminds the Israelites that the generation past (his generation) would not enter the Promised Land except Caleb and Joshua.
When the Israelites refused to fight for possession of the land God gave them, God was angered. So then the Israelites decided to go fight for their land. The Lord told Moses and Moses told the Israelites; Don't go fight. The Lord will not be with you and you will not win. After they heard this ... off they went to fight and were soundly beaten.
Let's try to remember to follow God's timing rather than our own.
