[Numbers 14] Avoiding the Wilderness Trip! In this chapter, the people respond to the ten spies who brought back the evil report. The voice of reason and rationale often provoke us to react to problems in fear and doubt. The ten spies’ evil report could have been motivated out of healthy caution and sensibility, but […]

[Numbers 13] Believing the Good Report. In this chapter, the twelve spies go into Canaan’s land to bring back a report to Moses and the people. God seldom allows us to go into a situation without our eyes open to what is ahead. He will keep you informed, and nothing will take you by surprise […]

[Numbers Chapter Twelve] Dealing with Your Critics. In this chapter Moses is criticized by those closest to him. His response earns him the title of the most “meek man” that ever lived. Zipporah was a Midianite and from all accounts a strong personality. Many times the spouse of a man or woman of God can […]

[Numbers 11] Would that All God’s People were Prophets! In this chapter, the people complain once again about the manna. Moses is at the end of his patience and cries out to God. In response, God offers to take the prophetic spirit on Moses and give it to 70 elders to help Moses bear the […]

[Numbers 10] The Trumpets of Redemption. In this chapter, God instructs Moses to fashion two silver trumpets used in calling the people together. These trumpets speak of the gospel’s message, and the character of the gospel is reflected in the silver used to fashion them. There is much condemnation and judgment preached today, but the […]

[Numbers 9] Should Christians Obey Jewish Law? In this chapter, the Father instructs Moses concerning the observance of the Passover. There were cases where people were ceremonially unclean or perhaps found themselves in a foreign land at Passover time. This speaks of our position before Christ. Jesus is our Passover. Do we clean ourselves up […]

[Numbers 8] The Forward-Looking Word of God. In this chapter, God gives Moses specific instructions about adjusting the lamps on the lampstand in the Holy Place. They had to face FORWARD and not BACKWARD. God wants us to be FORWARD looking and base our expectations on the word and not on circumstances we may see […]

[Numbers 7] The Voice of God Speaking into Your Liberality. In this chapter, after the tabernacle is set up and activated, we see the leaders of the 12 tribes go beyond all expectations in their giving. Leaders lead in giving in this chapter. Leaders who don’t lead in giving will struggle with small-minded, tight-fisted people. […]

[Numbers 6] Are You Called to Be a Nazarite? In this chapter, God instructs the people about the vow of a Nazarite. Are you called to be “single for Jesus”? What does the bible say about such vows? Is the vow of celibacy scriptural, or is it a curse that must be broken over your […]

[Numbers 5] The Law of Jealousies. In this chapter, God instructs Moses regarding something called the “Law of Jealousies.” In this law, the Father is revealing something of Himself as a husband over a wanton bride, yet ever seeking to bring her (us) back into a fruitful and loving relationship. God is love, and our […]
