Good Morning “Followers of Only The One True God.”  Today we are in Numbers 20.  Who do you listen to?  Who do you read?  Whose YouTube messages do you watch?  Who do you follow?  Hopefully that last question has a different answer than the others.  When a Pastor or Teacher preaches a message that convicts us, we can have a tendency to blame our conviction on him.  “Shoot the messenger” so to spea...  Read More

Good Morning “Protected Without Realizing It.”  Today we are in Numbers 19.Thousands of years before we really had the medical science to back it up, God was protecting the Nation of Israel from contagions, molds, and disease.  To them, many of His commands likely seemed senseless but they were at times for their welfare and safety.  God is still in the business of loving and protecting His people...  Read More

Good Morning “Beneficiaries of an Inheritance NO ONE Can Take From You.”  Today we are in Numbers 18.Are you a goal setter?  What kind of life goals do you hold?  Although falling quickly approximately 60% of Americans still claim to be Christian.  That said I was curious if the “Life Goals” of Americans reflected what Scripture says we “should” be all about.  So I Googled “Life Goals of Americans...  Read More

Good Morning “Reminded Humble Followers.”  Today we are in Numbers 17.Do you have a Jesus Fish (Ichthus) on your car?  What about a cross necklace or chain you wear?  Christian T-Shirt maybe.  What about in your home or office - Do you have a Cross on the wall or?  As we’ve read about the nation of Israel we’ve seen God give them reminders of His goodness, and power.  The Passover for instance.  T...  Read More

Good Morning “Humble Followers.”  Today we are in Numbers 16.Oxford defines Pride as: Consciousness of one’s own dignity or deep pleasure associated with one’s own achievements.  Humility is defined as: A modest or low view of one’s own importance.From the whole of Scripture we should be convinced of this - ITS ALL GOD!  Anything good in us, comes through Him by His Holy Spirit.  It’s called Grace...  Read More

Good Morning “Unintentional Sinners.”  Today we are in Numbers 15.God is Love!  Apart from God there is no Love! (1 John 4:8) God is also Holy, Righteous.  His Love is perfect in every way, meaning He is just, He must correct and discipline His children - those He loves!  (Hebrews 12:4-12)  His Holiness requires He deal with sin appropriately.  Sin must be atoned for.  He gave the nation of Israel...  Read More

Good Morning “Not On Your Own”.  Today we are in Numbers 14.  Man, you gotta shake your head at the Israelites here in Numbers 14 - at least some of them.First, look at the 10 spies; all but Caleb and Joshua come back from Canaan spreading a bad report about the land.  Despite Gods promise that He was going to give it to them, they stir the people to doubt with their report.  “Our enemy is huge, s...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who See With Eyes of Faith.” Today we are in Numbers 1312 spies sent into the land of Canaan to see if it was fruitful and to see how strong the people who live there are.  God is all knowing so by definition, He already knew.  So… why spy?  Why didn’t God just tell them what they were going to be up against?  Seemingly a test - but what for?  Perhaps the assignment was more ab...  Read More

Good Morning “Keepers of Your Head in All Situations”.  Today we are in Numbers 12.Aaron and Miriam have lost their minds!  At least in a sense.  Having been witness to Gods relationship with Moses - what were they thinking?  What were they feeling?  Perhaps envy,jealously, or lack of humility.  How soon they forget Gods power.Aaron was the oldest.  Perhaps in his mind he’s thinking the birthright...  Read More

Good Morning “Keepers of Good Company”.  Today we are in Numbers 11.Just yesterday we saw that Israel had to take all that they had learned, and put it into practice, as The Lord commanded them to leave the desert of Sinai.  He had them begin by “remembering” how far He had brought them.  They did this by observing The Passover. (Numbers 9)It’s not long before they begin grumbling about how hard l...  Read More

Good Morning “Doers of The Word.”  Today we find ourselves in Numbers 10.The nation of Israel has received a LOT of instruction from the Lord through Moses.  1 Year 1 Month, and 12 days it seems they were in the Desert of Sinai.  They were receiving instruction, building the Tabernacle, receiving more instruction, and living.  After a year, they were likely settled in a bit.  Now it was time to pi...  Read More

Good Morning “Remember-ers of ALL God Has Done.”  Today we are in Numbers 9.  The Tabernacle is completed, the Levite Priests are consecrated… Now what?  First God wants them to remember.  Remember from where He has brought them and how He did it.  They were in bondage, slavery, and by His mighty power, through 10 plagues or judgments, culminating with the death of the first born - He got them kic...  Read More
