I'm in my morning devotion, and I just received a word that is directed at me. I have to share. I spent some time in Numbers because everything in life seems to have something to do with numbers (age, marriage, promotions, # of children, salary). I’m sure you get where I'm going with this, especially the ladies.
The book of Numbers presents the chastening wrath of God against his disobedient people. In the book of Numbers, two-million ex-slaves were on their way from Egypt to the Promised Land. The trip could have been made in about 11 days but it took them 38 years! They did things all wrong and what they should have done they didn’t. Because of their lack of faith, the Hebrews wandered miserably in the wilderness. God took them the LONG WAY so they could have some time to rethink some things.
Many of us are on a detour in our journey. Many of us have taken the long way in our careers, finances, and relationships. Now things don’t seem to be going as fast as we would like them to. There are times when we think our way is the best way and things should happen in our time. This morning I had an "aha" moment. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to spend the next thirty-eight years of my life missing the point. We really should pay attention because God wants to teach us a few lessons.
One Love,
Robin
