Today's Reading: Numbers 1
Welcome to
the thrilling Book of Numbers! This incredible book of the Bible is filled with
adventure, excitement, and important life lessons that can still be applied to
our lives today.
The Book of
Numbers tells the story of the Israelites as they journeyed through the
wilderness towards the Promised Land. Along the way, they faced numerous
challenges and obstacles, but with God's help, they persevered and ultimately
reached their destination.
As we delve
into this book, we will witness incredible displays of faith, courage, and
obedience, as well as moments of doubt, rebellion, and punishment. Through it
all, we will gain valuable insights into the nature of God and the importance
of trusting in Him.
We will
learn about the consequences of disobedience and the rewards of faithful
obedience. We will see how God provides for His people and how He uses even the
most challenging situations for His glory.
In Numbers
1:19 ESV, the LORD commanded Moses to appoint one leader from each tribe of
Israel to assist him in taking a census of the people. And Moses, in his
obedience to God, appointed these leaders just as he was directed. What an example of simple trust
and obedience.
Moses'
obedience is an excellent example of the type of obedience that God desires
from His children. He wants us to obey His commands just as Moses did. He wants
us to be quick to listen and slow to speak, to seek God’s will in all things,
and to trust in Him even when things may seem difficult or unclear.
Remember,
obedience is not always easy, but it is necessary for your growth and
development as a follower of Christ. When you obey your loving Father, you will
experience the fullness of His blessings, joy, provision, and protection in
your life. And when you trust in Him and seek to do His will, He will guide you
on the path that He has prepared for you just as He guided Moses and the
Israelites.
