Numbers 1-6

After exploring the first six chapters of Numbers, I can clearly see how very orderly, and well structured our God is. The book of Numbers begins with a census, having Moses take a head count (if you will) of the people of Israel. I have to admit reading the first couples of chapters of Numbers, after finishing Leviticus is a bit to take in. But, I understand the importance of why all this information has been carefully saved and preserved for me to read at this very moment of my life. God is a God of order, and structure and very well planned. He gave certain duties to certain members of the tribes, which i thought was amazing. There are times when i feel like i have to be the GO-TO-GUY! My heart is sometimes bent on wanting to be the guy that does all the jobs well. But in reality that usually isn't the case, and i end up very frustrated in the end. Knowing that God has given me a purpose and passion for specific certain things, I know now to focus on that task and honor the Lord completely with my life by answering the call He has given me.

prayer: Heavenly Father, Lord of creation. I thank you so very much for giving my life purpose. Lord pour out your wisdom into my heart for my life. take my hand Lord and direct my paths to stay focused on the duties you have placed in my heart before i was even brought into this world. Glory be to your name that brings salvation. in Jesus name, Amen.
