Reading Numbers

Yesterday I posted something that I had read in my personal devotions. I want to back up and go back to what I had learned over the summer.
Somebody had spoken in chapel this last year and suggested that we pick a book of the Bible and spend a month reading that particular book. I started with Genesis and am working through the entire Bible, taking at least a month, but more if necessary.

Over the summer I was reading Numbers, and found it to be amazing. I felt like God was teaching me "Rememberance". I had applied for a leadership position here at school, but didn't get it. For a few months I was really bummed out, but later received my current FatBoys position.

This summer, I almost lost my mom in an accident and felt God used that as part of what he was teaching me.

In Numbers, we see the Israelites complaining because they are without food (meat), or water, yet in God's faithfulness, he provides for their needs and is watching over them.

God is also watching over you. For me, I was focusing on all the things that weren't working out as I had expected (similar to the Israelites), but later learned that God was really working, just in ways different than I had expected.


Challenge: Make a list of ways God has worked in your life (not every way since we don't have that kind of memory). I would suggest making this list in your Bible. When having a bad day, return to this list and be reminded of God's faithfulness. He is in control. God bless!
