March 13

Today's Reading

Numbers today includes several different events, all of them important in the history of God's people. Which one speaks the most to you? Which one leaves you with the most questions?

After reading the Gospel accounts of Matthew and Mark, we turn to Luke. Luke was a consummate historian who drew his primary source material from Mary, Jesus' mother. Thus he gives the greatest detail surrounding Jesus' birth.

We are reminded today in Psalms that, when we are afraid, we can trust in God. I have known fear and keep learning trust.

What a great promise in Proverbs!

Please take a moment and fill us in with your thoughts.

  1. Reading about Moses at Kadesh, I was reminded of how difficult it is to follow God in stressful situations and depend on Him and not my own strength. All it took for Moses was an angry reaction to repeated whinning (I can relate). For Zachariah, it was a surprised response to unbelieveable situation. Would any of us responded any better? For regrets and sadness in a world of sin, Psalm 56:8 tells me much about the character of God and where He stands in tough times: right beside us.
