Numbers 14; Numbers 15; Numbers 16; Mark 3
So Now,
Lord,
Show Your Strength!
Scripture
Numbers 14
Show it the way you said you would. 18 You said, ‘The Lord is slow to become angry. He is full of great love. He forgives those who are guilty and break the law.
Observation
Do you want to show how strong you are? Our strength is
shown by our ability to forgive! Moses spoke to God reminding God of His mercy,
of His love, and of His forgiveness. God was getting ready to wipe out the
entire nation of Israel and start all over with only Moses, but Moses spoke out
and pleaded to God on the people’s behalf.
This is an incredible story of God’s love and also an
incredible example of a godly leader!
This passage found in Numbers 14, 15, and 16 is a
reminder to us also that God does have His leader. Moses was the one called to
lead the nation of Israel. He was the one that the people were to follow. Over
and over again in these 3 chapters we have people challenging that leadership.
It didn’t go well with those folks! It didn’t go well at all.
Take time to read about it this morning. It will only
take you a minute. God has placed godly men in leadership for us to follow.
Support them in every way you can and it will go a lot better for you and your
family.
Application
God
will take care of me if I keep my life yielded and surrendered to Him.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me trust You. Help me to be a good
follower! Help me to be like Joshua and Caleb who stood beside Moses when
everybody else wanted to rebel. You are my strength. Thank You that You are
slow to become angry. Thank You that You are full of love and forgiveness!
