Numbers 30 - You said it!
Numbers 28, 29 - How to draw near!
Offering means, that which brings near! You want to draw near to God in your condition, then this is the way to go about it! There are ways to enter a store, classroom, church, synagogue, mosque, concert hall etc... We grow up learning how to approach situations in the right manner. So go figure...it's also important to approach God in a particular way!
Numbers 27 - It's Time for the New!
New leadership! It can be a challenge to raise up the new leaders who then carry the torch! But Do I do a good job of being replaced? Am I looking for ways and people to move into positions of leadership or have I become a person that just won't move out of the way?
Numbers 25 - Oh How We Covet!
Numbers 25 is a vivid picture of our defiance against God's commands! This is a continued theme in Israel and in us! Have you ever tried to stop something? Your desire for sex, money, property, possessions, things, control, security etc... Not easy is it! A yielded heart is what is needed towards God. May the Lord grant us this today!
Numbers 24 - Stubborn!
Numbers 24 continues the events of Balaam, the prophet for hire, who was hired by Balak to curse the Hebrew nation. Have you ever thought you were stubborn? When we look within we see this quality in us as well as others. See if you can see yourself in this chapter on the Morning Devotion with Beau O!
Numbers 23 - Backfire!
Numbers 23 continues the events of Balaam, the prophet for hire, who was hired by Balak to curse the Hebrew nation. Many people today curse Israel! But does it backfire to kick against the will of God? So many times I have made plans only to see them backfire. God has a plan for me, but at times I want to go a different direction, with a stubborn heart! It it wise to fight against God and His people? Let's find out what happens!
Numbers 22 - Curse Israel Please?
Numbers 22 - 25 begins an amazing account of what sounds like our world today! A people that desire to be rid of the Hebrew people in the middle east! Just as people today think up of ways to be rid of Israel ("From river to the sea, Palestine must be free), we see once again from the Torah, that nothing is new. Don't you find it interesting that this same song is being played over and over again! What is it about the Hebrew nation that such desire for their extinction continues to our present day?
Numbers 21 - Victory in Jesus!
After a spiritual face plant it's nice to have a victory! Then after a victory, you can expect a trial for sure! But what do we do when it all seems to be falling apart? Look! That's the instruction Israel is given! And us too!
Numbers 20 - And so it goes!
Moses, Moses, Moses! And so he finally snaps! Sometimes we finally break after the stress of it all get's to us! Your in good company! Everyone stresses out on the planet. There is great challenges for humans outside of us and inside us. Chapter 20 gives us some of these challenges in the early days of the Nation of Israel!
Numbers 19 - Hyssop branches and water! Hyssop & blood, Hyssop and wine
The water of transition is a theme of purification throughout the Bible. You might have called it baptism. But it's roots are seen here in the Old Testament!
Numbers 18 - Teach the new gen!
Discipleship! It might be just what life is about! We are either a good example or a bad example. The instructions in this chapter are given during a time where the new generation will need to take over for the aged, bitter and dying. The remedy to our salvation is repeated over and over again in the Torah! But are we paying attention?
