Numbers 1-7

Sharing Deuteronomy 4-9. I usually don't share outside of prayer and closure. But, today's reading reminded me of why America was founded and where it is. 

Lord help us all. 

Heavenly Father please he who is listening to your word as you have blessed the one reading your word. Continue to soften hearts and make breakthrough changes in the lives of those who seek you.

As I read the last couple versus in this boom of Numbers  I am reminded that God doesn't care if we can say everyword properly in the bible. He cares that we spend time basking in the word. 

Lord bless he who reads and hears your words. Jesus is the deliverer of sinners. 

Lord thank you for not holding us to sacrifices for atonement. Thank you for your continuous love, mercy, and grace through the blood of Jesus Christ. Thank you for showing us that those who lean on you you can defeat the greatest enemy. Thank you Father for allowing us life through your word. Amen.

May the Lord bless he who listens to His words. May He soften the hearts of those who desire to gain more of His understanding and let go of their own. Lord bless Ukraine as you blessed the Israelites. Let them know they are not alone, but in your company and under your protection. 

Lord let us learn about your wrath, and you anger from the old Testament. By understanding how you use to strike those that rebelled against you, can we truly appreciate the love you have shown us in the new Testament. 

Reading Numbers can be difficult if you don't have patience for repetition. But know that the consistency, and fairness in the amount each person brings for offerings if the same. God displays a sense of fairness which many people living on this earth now can't comprehend.  When you read beyond a point of comfort because of your dedication to God, He is pleased and there for you find favor. Every word in the Bible is important in finding what you seek. Never limit yourself by not reading the whole thing, you will be amazed in how it can transform you. I know how it changed me. Let His word be your testimony. 

Dear Lord please bless those who listen to your words today and always. 

In tonight's reading the Lord sets the laws for atonement over sickness, and uncleanness. As I read I realized that the Lord even made Aaron sacrifice a bullock for his own atonement, and for his household. Even though there was no mention of Aaron sinning he was also required to seek atonement for himself. This helps me realize that even God selected imperfect people to do his Holy work and stand in the gap for the people. 

Starting the 3rd book of Moses Leviticus. Let us thank the Lord that we no longer have to shed the blood of living creatures to seek atonement for our sins. This chapter will remind us of the sacrifices made to atone and how Aaron and his sons were the intermediaries for forgiveness. This chapter will help us understand why Jesus Christ is the lamb of God. His blood shed was the ultimate sacrifice. Let us continue reading the word to find out salvation by feeding our spirit.
