DAY 7 OF 14

The God Who Leads – Follow Him

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the Lord your God.
Numbers 15:41 (NIV)
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33 (ESV)

It is a common sight to see flocks of seabirds follow fishing boats across the sea, knowing the promise of food supply, optimizing on the upturn waves to fish, and riding upon the air power of the bow wave from the boat for their journey. In Numbers 14-15, the Israelites rebelled in their hearts against God, clouded by the fear and disappointment of negative reports of what they had heard of Canaan and wanted to go their own way. Despite the many miraculous interventions and provisions of God throughout their journey, they had forgotten the One who had promised. They continuously focused on their temporal life rather than on their eternal inheritance. Who and what are we following today? Didn’t our Heavenly Father say that He is our God…that we are to seek Him above all things…that all our needs and concerns are met in Jesus who has overcome?

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your covenantal love, for pursuing us despite all our failings. Help us to rely upon the power of Your love and Your holy spirit, lead us to be overcomers through Jesus, a people set apart for Your Kingdom purposes and influence. In Jesus’ name. Amen

About this Plan

Through the Bible: Numbers

The book of Numbers, as the Hebrew name suggests, is the Israelites’ travelogue in the wilderness, from Mount Sinai to the plains of Moab, right before entering the Promised Land. Because of the Israelites’ disobedience, the 11-day journey turned to 40 years! But rest assured, God always restore His people to the place of blessings as soon as we return to Him. Come journey through Numbers with us.
