BRRRRRRRRR! It’s sure cold in the suburbs of Houston where I live!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sure hope you are somewhere staying warm. I’m 100% thankful I have heat and cozy blankets and I’m not living in a tent as the people we are reading about were doing. However…. to get to see the cloud with God and hear his voice WOULD be PRETTY SPECTACULAR. So there’s that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay warm, my friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright. On to the reading for today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s Reading: Leviticus 26:27- Numbers 8:14<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what I heard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scripture: Numbers 4:49<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the Lord’s command through Moses, each was assigned his work and what to carry. Thus they were counted, as the Lord commanded Moses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Observation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

God gave Moses clear instructions as to what to do- both here in counting and who to count and throughout this reading and others in many other areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I crave clear instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t want to be misled by false instruction and so I often wonder: How can I get clear instruction? I don’t want to make mistakes. I want to know exactly what is needed so I know what to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But hang on a sec. At deeper thought, though, I can’t miss that, even with clear instruction in many places, there were plenty of mistakes, mishaps and rebellion by those who heard the instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d like to think that clear instruction is the answer. But is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Father, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started this time with you asking for clear, undeniable instruction from You, believing that<\/em> is the answer to Godly success (eternal success? true success?). But then it was revealed to me that even clear instruction isn’t a guarantee. There is a lot more to it than that and even with clear instructions, things can go off the rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hmmm. Another nod to the need for a savior? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps that<\/em> is your clear instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for your love. Thanks for your patience. Thanks for your instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Jesus name,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
