Thoughtful Devotions: Numbers

Numbers, the account of the Israelites' journey to the Jordan River, where they stood waiting to enter the Promised Land. It is a story of redemption. The Israelites whined and complained, and they disobeyed, spending another forty years in the wilderness. However, God would have mercy, giving the next generation the chance to enter. Thus, they journeyed and arrived. For those today who believe, faith and obedience are required for us to obtain the promises of God. Journey through the book of Numbers and let the lessons of this book encourage you to live a life pleasing to God, a life of consecration, obedience, and faith.
