Numbers 25

Numbers 25:10-11 “Then the Lord said to Moses, Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest has turned my anger away from the Israelites by being as zealous among them as I was.  So I stopped destroying all Israel as I had intended to do in my zealous anger.”

God loved the fact that Phinehas was so concerned with honoring Him and that he was bold in his devotion to the Lord that he blesses him as you keep reading chapter 25.  I know this is Old Testament but I really feel God loves when we are zealous for Him and stand up for Him when people are not living a way that is honoring to Him.  Zealous means; full of, characterized by, or due to zeal; ardently active, devoted, or diligent.  Do these characteristics show in our walk with the Lord?  I thank God for Jesus and shedding His blood so my sins can be forgiven.  That makes me want to work harder to live and love like Jesus did and be a zealous follower of Him.

Mark 8:38 says, “If anyone is ashamed of Me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

Read it and live it and have the zeal to pronounce your love for the Lord.  Amen

Numbers 14

Numbers 14:17-18 “Please, Lord, prove that your power is as great as you have claimed.  For you said, The Lord is slow to anger and filled with unfailing love, forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion.  But He does not excuse the guilty.  He lays the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected even children in the third and fourth generation.”

This made me think about what I do, do I just continue to live to please myself knowing God is slow to anger and filled with unfailing love?  We need to really open God’s word and read it so it sinks in and makes us grow with His wisdom.  Because we don’t see Him and get the immediate response to things do we think we can get away with how we’ll live? 

At the end of Numbers 14 verse 34 the Lord says, “…Then you will discover what it is like to have Me for an enemy.”

Why do we try and do it alone?  Believe and have faith to change your life letting Christ be the mark we always aim for.  The Israelites wondered for 40 years because they were impatient, what are we impatient about and think we deserve or want?  Think about it, is it really worth wondering in the wilderness?  We live for an incredible God that has promised us eternity with Him when we accept His Son and live as he did, constantly learning and working to grow.  We need to learn to love Him always and open His word to see how we can prepare now for eternal life.  Amen
