Posted: 05 Nov 2009 04:18 AM PST What did the Lord direct Moses to instruct every Israelite to attach to their garments? Num. 15:38       They were instructed that they should put tassels on their garments.    What reason was given for wearing tassels? That is, what specific things did God want the Israelites to remember? Num. 15:39–41.       The tassels were to help them to remember to follow God and not    after their own hearts. The tassels were also there to help them    remember that it was God that delivered them from Egypt.    How could following Jesus' words to "pray always" (Luke 21:36) help you remember what God has done for you and what He asks you to do in return?       To pray always is to keep God before you , and to keep His    requirements upon your mind. The mind that is engaged in prayer    is being engaged by the mind of God.       When we have conversations with God it helps us to become more and    more like Him. Also we when we pray we come to know God better    and because of that we want to please Him in all we do.    Prayer: Father help us to remember what you have done for us. Please continue to reveal yourself to us and may we be changed by that revelation. In Jesus name amen. |
Posted: 05 Nov 2009 03:52 AM PST Read Numbers 15:30, 31. What's happening here and what lessons can we draw from it for ourselves? Why does the punishment seem so harsh? Where is grace in all this?       Defiance is an open disregard for Authority. This is a person    who breaks the the law and does not care the least bit. A person    who is in open defiance to God has attempted to take the place    of God.       The person in defiance to God does not care what God wants but    chooses their own desire regardless. This individual is guilty    of breaking all of the commandments of God and , they also    are harmful to the community of God.    Read Numbers 15:32–36. Why do you think the Lord had the whole congregation take part in this execution? What spiritual lesson can we draw from this?       This person was in open rebellion to the command of God.    Because of his open rebellion this man received an open    punishment. Also this was something this act would allow    the people to seriousness of sin and cause a reverence and fear    to fall upon them.    How ready and willing are you to repent, confess, and admit your sins? Or, on the other hand, how often do you find yourself justifying your sins for one reason or another? Why is that so spiritually dangerous?       We must continue to pray always and ask God for help with    these matters. We must seek God and ask Him continually    for the help that we need.No matter how weak we feel we    must pray. Prayer: Father please break the chains of defiance to your will in our lives. Help us to surrender to you in all that we do. Please remove sin far from us. Thank you Father in Jesus name amen. |
