I wish there were words wonderful enough to describe the joy of waking up to God’s Presence and love. I have the joy of participating in 3 small groups with people whose desire is to grow closer to God. We share. We pray. We are lifted up by both. In our MidWeek Encounter the expression…

No matter how many times we resist God’s truth, His truth remains. King Balak never intended to listen to God. He always intended for Balaam to curse God’s people. He was so focused on that objective there was no room to hear what God was telling him through Balaam. Balaam can only speak what the…

Have you ever noticed how noisy the world around us is? Especially at this time of year the over-the-top noise and bright colors demand our constant attention. Look here! See this! Amidst the holiday rush what would it take for God to get your distracted attention? I’m sure there are many who would read Numbers…

When I begin a blog to share God’s love as I am learning myself, I always begin with prayer that He will guide me. My prayer after reading Numbers 21 was for insight that I don’t ever mislead anyone by my own ignorance. He helped me realize I keep reaching for profound insight when all…

There are times when I read Scripture and I am so grateful I live today. We today have the benefit of looking back from the position of knowing God’s will for us all – as He reveals it. The people are living in the times of the Old Covenant and now in Numbers 18 Aaron…

There is a disconnect in Numbers 17. It’s such a short chapter that you almost wonder where’s the rest of it. God was trying to put an end to the people thinking that Aaron was acting on his own initiative instead of God choosing him to be High Priest with the priestly line of succession…

When we put our faith and trust in God what happens to our hearts? A change. In the morning the Lord will show who belongs to him and who is holy, and he will have that person come near to him. The man he chooses he will cause to come near to him. Numbers 16:4-5.…

I confess I had a hard time with Numbers 15. Even before finishing the Chapter I knew I needed to take it to God in prayer. I struggle with the ancient sacrifices. We just read in the last Chapter about the rebellious hearts, the disbelief in God able to protect them and the decree they…
