Today's Reading
Among the subjects covered in Numbers today is the way the people moved or paused according to the direction of God. What does that teach us in our calendar-driven culture?
Mark records some of Jesus' instructions concerning the time when He returns. What are your insights about this?
I find Psalm 50 to be so relevant! We are surrounded by those who ignore God and our temptation is to forget Him and how much we need Him. On the other hand, our obedience and our sacrifices open the door for Him to provide for us.
The world may be shaking around us, but God calls us to trust and obey. He will see us through, according to Proverbs.
Fire away! I look forward to your remarks!

I am amazed at how flexible the people of Israel had to be. When they would set up camp in the evening, they would never know if they were pulling up camp the next morning, the next week or in a month. They watched for God's command (the movement of the cloud) and did as He commanded, immediately. Whenever I think of Bibld stories in the Old Testament, I tend to think of how the women felt. I know that women (men, too) like the security of being in one place and setting up a home. It was hard, I'm sure, yet they obeyed. A good lesson for me.
ReplyDeleteMy husband noticed that there's actually a daily bible podcast available through iTunes. Maybe this will help some more of us stay on top of our reading! It looks like it's through www.dailyaudiobible.com and the iTunes URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/dailyaudiobible
ReplyDeleteRanelle, as always the rest of us learn through your application of the Scripture to your own life. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJulie, thank you for making us away of this tool. It can be great for those who are constantly on the go.
