Today's Reading: Numbers 34
In today’s
passage, we find a significant moment in the journey of the Israelites. The
Lord commanded Moses to appoint leaders from each tribe to divide the Promised
Land of Canaan as an inheritance for the people of Israel. The task at hand was
no small feat. It required wisdom, integrity, hard work, and faithfulness to
fulfill God's plan.
Just as God
appointed leaders in the days of Moses, He still calls and equips leaders
today. We may not be divvying up parcels of land, but we have been entrusted
with spiritual stewardship. As followers of Christ, we are called to faithfully
divide and distribute the inheritance of God's Word, love, and grace among His
people.
First, we
need to understand our inheritance in Christ. Through His death and
resurrection, we have received forgiveness, redemption, and eternal life. We
possess the abundant promises and blessings of God's kingdom. It is our
privilege to share this "Promised Land" with others, revealing the hope found in
Jesus.
Second, we
must recognize our responsibility to faithfully “divide this inheritance.” We
are called to rightly divide the Word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15), sharing it
with clarity and accuracy. We should seek to discern the specific needs and
struggles of those around us, offering words of encouragement, biblical counsel, prayer, and practical help. This, too, will require wisdom, integrity, hard work, and
faithfulness to fulfill God's plan.
Let us
remember that our primary task as followers of Christ is to faithfully
distribute God's inheritance. May we be diligent in studying His Word, growing
in intimacy with Him, and seeking the leading of the Holy Spirit. Let us invest
in building relationships, demonstrating love and compassion, and walking
alongside those who are in need.
