Transformation continuing message from the Book of Numbers: 'Faithfulness'
The book of numbers is about faithfulness – portraying the faithfulness of God dealing with people who are often unfaithful.
The metaphors for life are many, and each one teaches us something important. Sometimes life is like a battle and sometimes it is more like a race, but always it is a classroom where we need to be awake and alert to what Our Lord and Our Friend is trying to teach us.
To Moses and the people, he was leading, a very special journey from bondage to freedom, from childishness to maturity, from selfishness to service, from glorifying the past to anticipating the future.
The Book presents a challenge to the people of God to live Holy and righteous lives according to the Word of God, and as a result, enjoy the blessing and benefits of living in right relationship with Him.
Blessings and benefits:
The blessings of God are free, and he will not take them from you, all he simply asks, is for you to come into right relationship with him. To begin walking with our Lord and Friend in the cool of the day, like we were created to do.
The book of numbers is like a giant census. All of his people were counted and numbered, much in the same way that he knows the number of hairs on our very heads.
Though the book of numbers can be a bit dry, just remember that the God of the universe who has named and numbered all the stars in sky, all the days of your life, and all the hairs on your head, has a keen interest in you and a matchless devotion.
You are more than just a number to Him, you are His very child, one he holds dear to his heart.
Faithfulness is what we should always offer to Our Lord Our Friend because that is what He gives to us..
God Bless,
