It was several "small," respectable sins - subtle manifestations of unbelief - that kept the children of Israel out of the promised land. Those same easily hidden sins of murmuring, pride, jealousy, spiritual depression, impatience, and so on, will also keep us out of the spiritual rest that is God's provision for all His believing children. Though we gloss over them and explain them away to ourselves and other people, they will prove an insuperable barrier to our entry into our spiritual Canaan. What is the remedy?
