Numbers
I
loved reading numbers. It was a great
read. I don’t think it was as good as
Genesis, however it had some great messages.
The
start of the book included the census of all the people.
The
census was followed by specific jobs given to the groups of people. Each person was provided a job unique to their
skills. I thought that seemed like today, when there are people that just seem
to be so perfect for their job.
Overall
the message that reappears over and over in Numbers is the same one that my
former student, Brian Klingenberg said
he saw on a bumper sticker this week and posted on Facebook that states “Start
a Revolution and stop COMPLAINING.”
I thought awesome, someone summed up Numbers
on a bumper sticker.
While
Moses was leading the Israelites to the Promise Land, God had Moses “take them
around the mountain” again. Or actually
wondering in the desert another 40 years
because of all of the complaining they continued doing. God even killed people because they
complained so much.
This
made me begin to wonder how many times God has taken me around the mountain
again, because of my complaining. Have I
missed my Promised Land, because of my complaining.
