At the bottom of my page in Numbers 2 is a neat diagram of the Tabernacle in the center with the tribes of the people shown as they would have camped with the Lord. Have you ever gone camping? Preparation is a good thing! Now the people are being instructed in where their individual tents…

He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars – if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Genesis 15:5. Yesterday the Earth marked a milestone. 8 billion people. Can you imagine? Can you count each one? In Numbers 1, a…

In this final Chapter of Leviticus, Leviticus 27, God instructs in how they can make a special vow to Him. The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If anyone makes a special vow to dedicate a person to the Lord by giving the equivalent value, set the value…’” v.…

Can you imagine what it must be like to be God? The most interesting, fascinating Being who created everything we see and everything we can’t see; who created us in His image and likeness and surrounded us with the beauty of His creation…and His people turn their back on Him and bow down to images…

Can you imagine? God wants to spend time with us. More than any friend you will ever know, any family you delight in…God wants to spend time with you. He gave the people Festivals to delight in with Him in Leviticus 23. Days of rest and assembly where hard work could be stopped so they…

Leviticus 21 and 22 give instruction for Aaron’s sons and descendants, the priesthood. Over and over at the end of each instruction these words…I am holy…Because they present the food offerings to the Lord, the food of their God, they are to be holy…I am the Lord…I am the Lord who makes him holy…tell Aaron…

There are times when reading Scripture that God sounds so harsh. So we shrink away. We fear punishment. Then we think that the God of the Old Testament is somehow different from the God of the New Testament. Is He really? The people are about to enter into a land where parents kill their own…

My husband and I love to watch all things Star Trek. There is the concept of timelines and reading my Bible, I definitely get a sense of a different timeline. It was such a different world then. The Lord said to Moses, “Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: ‘Be holy…
