AUGUST 8, 2022 Numbers 12:11-12 So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned. Please do not let her be as one dead.” The rabbinical belief is that Miriam was struck with leprosy because her statements about Moses amounted to slandering […]
AUGUST 7, 2022 Numbers 12:3 Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth. In the previous devotion, we spoke of the fact that God hears what we say, and especially when we speak against His purpose and people. Apparently, something was going on between Miriam and Moses’ Ethiopian […]
AUGUST 6, 2022 Numbers 12:1-2 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman. So they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it. People are amazing. Almost immediately after being witness to so much destruction resulting from doubting God’s […]
AUGUST 5, 2022 Numbers 11:31 Now a wind went out from the Lord, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground. In response […]
AUGUST 4, 2022 Numbers 11:25-26 And it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again. But two men had remained in the camp: the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them. Now they were among those listed, but who had not gone out to the […]
AUGUST 3, 2022 Numbers 11:16-17 So the Lord said to Moses: “Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you. Then I will come down and talk with you there. I will […]
AUGUST 27, 2022 Numbers 16:21-22 “Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.” Then they fell on their faces, and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and You be angry with all the congregation?” Once again, we see the faithfulness of Moses, not only toward […]
AUGUST 2, 2022 Numbers 11:10-11 Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and the anger of the Lord was greatly aroused; Moses also was displeased. So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You afflicted Your servant?” Anyone who has been involved with ministry any length of time knows that it […]
AUGUST 1, 2022 Numbers 11:6 “But now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!” As I mentioned in the previous devotion, God always gives us what we need but not everything we want, necessarily. In fact, it is my view that most of those times when He gave His people what they […]
JULY 31, 2022 Numbers 11:5 “We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.” Can you imagine being thrust into a situation that, as far as the natural eye is concerned, there is no source of food and water? On the other hand, […]
JULY 30, 2022 Numbers 11:4 Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat?” In the previous devotion we spoke of the fire that broke out among those who lived in the outskirts of the camp. To be a […]
JULY 29, 2022 Numbers 11:1 Now when the people complained, it displeased the Lord; for the Lord heard it, and His anger was aroused. So the fire of the Lord burned among them, and consumed some in the outskirts of the camp. As we begin today, let’s take note of the fact that God hears our conversations; He hears our praise and our grumbling. As to the latter, […]
