What does it say?
God instructed Moses that it was time to begin the journey toward the land of Canaan. Moses compelled his brother-in-law, Hobab, to journey with them.
What does it mean?
God had everything in place for Israel to embark on the journey that would fulfill His plans for them. He gave Moses detailed instructions for every facet of the trip so there would be order rather than chaos. God had even given Moses the names of the men who would lead each tribe (Num. 1). Moses invited Hobab, who had knowledge of the terrain, to go with them on the journey and share in “whatever good things the Lord” promised to Israel. The journey would not be easy, but God had planned every aspect to guide and protect His people.
How should I respond?
God has a plan and purpose for you, just as He did for the Israelites. What life journey are you embarking on right now? God sees every aspect before you take a single step and wants to prepare you for what’s ahead. What changes do you need to make to bring order to your life so you can better follow His plan? Are your finances and family in good standing, allowing you to obey God’s direction at a moment’s notice? Who is the spiritual head of your family – the one you can look to for help as you navigate the road ahead? Ask God to use this journey to develop Christ-like character and deepen your dependence on Him.

In the book of Numbers, God demonstrates himself as a pillar of fire and a pillar of smoke, faithfully leading his often rebellious people through the wilderness. Although the faithless wilderness generation was barred from entering the promised land, God was raising up a generation to lead the people from their wandering into the conquest of the land of Canaan.
