Today, I am reading and commenting on  Numbers 11-13.

I have a Youtube video of me reading the Scripture passage and my comments. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts.

We often notice the failure of the Israelites to believe that God can and will provide for their needs, despite the many miracles He had already done for them.  However, we often overlook that Moses failed to fully trust God to be able to do as He promised.  In today’s passage, when God told Moses that the Israelites would eat meat for an entire month to the point that they became sick of it, Moses essentially responded by saying that was not possible.  Do we respond like Moses?  Does God need to say to us “Is My hand shortened?”  Will we trust God’s promises?

Intermixed with the above God also instructed Moses to appoint seventy elders to take some of the burden of interceding between the people and God.  For today, the part of that account that I want to focus on is how Moses responded when Joshua wanted Moses to stop the two elders who had not joined him and the other elders in front of the tabernacle from receiving God’s Spirit.  Moses’ response was that he wished that the Lord would put His Spirit upon all of His people.  This is something God has now fulfilled.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
