Numbers 31:48-49

Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—went to Moses and said to him, "Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one is missing."

Moses trusted the Lord's command and sent the Israelites to war on the Midianites. Not one man was left alive (Num 31:7), yet every Israelite was kept safe. Every single one safe. 

How providential must our God, our Shepherd be...to orchestrate such occurrences?

And I couldn't not share this - I found an intensely large amount of bible illustrations at a site called thebricktestament.com. Check it out - the bible in legos....

Mark 6:4-6

Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their lack of faith.

And He was amazed at their lack of faith.

How many times is Christ amazed by US? If this is what amazing to Him about us as compared to what amazes us about HIM...then all the more we should have faith!

Numbers 9:22-23

Whether the cloud stayed over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a year, the Israelites would remain in camp and not set out; but when it lifted, they would set out. At the LORD's command they encamped, and at the LORD's command they set out. They obeyed the LORD's order, in accordance with his command through Moses.

 Why do you think they stayed when the cloud remained over the tabernacle and left when it did not?

February 24 :: Numbers 7-8; Mark 4:21-41

Numbers 8:15-16

"After you have purified the Levites and presented them as a wave offering, they are to come to do their work at the Tent of Meeting. They are the Israelites who are to be given wholly to me. I have taken them as my own in place of the firstborn, the first male offspring from every Israelite woman."

Wave offerings - first fruits, waved by the priests (T'nufah in Hebrew) as a solemn and special offering, property of priests once offered.

Is there an equivalent for modern day Levites in Christianity?
