February 27, Day 58

Today's Reading

Numbers. Among the subjects covered 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? I certainly am guilty of living more by the clock and the calendar and it's hard to keep in balance. Every time I go to the DR I am confronted with a culture that starts when the people arrive.

Notice the instructions about using trumpets. Anyone who has watched a movie like Return of the King on the big screen can't help but feel a sense of awe at this Biblical word picture. I was also struck by Moses' plea to his brother-in-law for help. Most likely, Moses thought their wilderness journey would be short.
