TAKE IT TO THE LORD

Today's reading: Numbers 25-28

"So Moses brought their case before the Lord." Numbers 27:5 NLT

Moses had some tough decisions to make on behalf of the people of Israel.

Decisions that involved property, in this instance, but also decisions that involved life and death and even banishment from the family of God.

In each of these, Moses sought the Lord.

When his feelings were hurt, he sought out God's decision on the matters, instead of relying on his own.

When his plans were dashed, he sought God's leading, instead of believing he knew it all, or knew best.

When his position, God appointed position, was questioned, he sought out God for validation.

When he was mad, and did he ever have reason to be with two million people to wrangle, he sought God for direction.

He brought each and every 'case' before the Lord for His judgement and guidance.

That's quite an example for us to follow.

Every day.

With every choice we're called to make.
