Day 57 Learn From the Israelites

Day 57

Daily Bible Reading Schedule

Numbers 1
Mark 13

Congratulations!  You have finished another Book in the Bible.  Yesterday you finished the Book of Leviticus.  You have read Genesis and Matthew.  If you have been reading the Bible from the start of January first.

If you have just started reading the Bible, that is fine also.  The important thing is that you read the Bible everyday and keep your focus on Jesus and God's Ways.

Numbers is a book of numbers, as your already figured out.  Moses took a census in the beginning of the Book of Numbers and at the end of the Book of Numbers. 

Numbers might be a bit boring, but it worth a read.  The Israelites followed God out of Egypt.  God parted the Red Sea for them to cross.  God fed them manna from Heaven.  God was cloud during the day to protect them from the heat and fire by night to keep them warm.  Still, The Israelites still complained and even made a golden calf to worship when Moses went up the mountain to speak to God.

We can learn a lot from the Israelites.  There walk to the Promise Land was suppose to be a few days walk, but it took them 40 years to get out of the desert and into the Promise Land.  Why, because they complained, grumbled and didn't have Faith in God.

Sound Familiar?  We do the same thing today.  We say that we believe and trust in God, but still we complain, grumble and don't trust God. 

So as you read the Old Testament, do you see yourself doing some of the things the Israelites are doing?

So it is important to read the entire Bible, even though some parts you might not find so interesting, but later, you will.
