Numbers 1:1 The LORD spoke to Moses….
As I turned the page into the Book of Numbers this morning, God is still with the Israelites in the desert. He is still in control. He still has a plan. He is still working with Moses to get Israel where He needs them to be.
Numbers 1:2 “Take a census of the whole Israelite community by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.”
Commentary on the book as a whole reveals: “…Numbers gives us a big vision: Where is God taking us? What will it take to get there? What inward qualities must God develop in us and demand in us along the way?” These are still such relevant questions today.
Numbers 1:48 The LORD had said to Moses….
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for being present with us. Thank You for calling us to something larger than ourselves, for having a plan and a purpose for our lives. Thank You for partnering with us in Your kingdom work. Draw us closer. Amen.
Numbers 1:54 The Israelites did all just as the LORD commanded Moses.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
