Are you as impressed as I am at the incredible number of descendants in the desert with Moses? Thinking back how they are got the start with Abraham and Sarah... that's allot of "grand babies"!
And it is just one example of how powerful and faithful to His word our Lord is! So when Korah, Dathan and Abiram lose sight of Him, lose respect for the living God and rebel..uh oh!
It seems so harsh as I read it. And it is hard to reconcile this to the way I picture God. But, when I think it through, it is a strong reminder of how much God really does love us. He offered a different way to relate to us in love. Because He sent Jesus! Jesus to suffer because of us, for us and so that we can be present to the love and power of our God forever! Let us never lose sight of HIM lest we also be swallowed up by this world.

Greetings,
Another day of experiencing life with the Israelites. It continues to thrill and amaze me to see just how orderly and precise God is. If they and we would just follow his instructions how blessed we would be. How blessed they were even as they didn't do as he commanded and gave instructions to follow. Every tribe had a significant order and task they were to accomplish, from the setting up of the sanctuary to taking it back down. The anointing of the tribe of Levi to be set apart in just care for the sanctuary and it's services.
Today God calls each of us and gives us gifts to use for him in his service. It takes everyone and all gifts to make a sanctuary (church) complete. Each is special to God. Keep reading and get to know Him better and all he did for our salvation.

I have been a bit slow getting my comments added to this blog as this is a new undertaking for me on the computer so pray it gets to the right place.
As I have been doing my reading each a.m. I just keep anchoring my faith and trust in Jesus everyday as I see his workings unfold for his people, and are we any different? As we have walked with those who walked with God and witness their remaining faithful through all types of trials and experiences and arriving at the building of the sanctuary where God would come down and dwell among them it so makes the song "Lord Prepare me to be a sanctuary pure and holy tried and true, and with thanksgiving be a living sanctuary for you." Thank you for inviting me to join in this fantastic adventure as we walk through the scriptures each day.
God bless Georgene

WOW
Ok, this is kinda strange... it hit me for the first time this morning. How many times have I heard the story of Moses and the Isralittes? The plagues, the parting of the Red Sea? The Ten Commandents? Yet today they became real to me. I mean these folks really lived, those events really happened!
Its so much more than just a great story! WOW
