Mon.’s Devo - The Wisdom of God

Read Numbers 27-29
The daughters of Zelophaehad came to Moses to present their case. Their father had died with on sons but five daughters and they wanted his name to continue. They wanted his inheritance. Moses did what he always did when he didn’t know the answer, he brought it to God. That should be our response every time we have a decision which is daily, minute by minute. Before we go to the doctor, or call our mother or friend or tell our husband. We should always go to the Lord first. He is the only one who knows the right answer. Then he can lead us to the person who will give it, or the verse in the Bible, or the nudge that tells us which one is right. God is so creative in his leading. He makes me laugh sometimes in what he choses to use to guide us. He can even speak through a donkey, which might be me! LOL! Anyway, we see Moses turn to the Lord every time he is confronted with a question. He could make up the answer but he knows better.
Moses didn’t even take for granted that Joshua would be the next leader. He asked God first. God had Moses begin to shift some of his responsibilities to Joshua so they could transition to a new leader. This was our picture of how to bring in a new leader and honor the people.
In reading the offerings it can get a little wordy but I noticed that though most of them are the same, when it gets to the Festival of Shelters or the Feast of Tabernacles, things get more interesting. There is a countdown. Remember that the Feast of Trumpets will be the rapture of the church. From that day till the Day of Atonement will be the Days of Awe or the Great Tribulation. On the Day of Atonement the books will be opened and the goats will be separated from the lambs. The lambs will be rewarded according to their works and the goats will be judged. The Feast of Tabernacles and the countdown goes for seven days. I think that during this time we will be cleaning up the earth. On the eight, it starts over. God does things in weeks. We will enter the new millennium where the lamb will rule the earth and there will be peace. It will be the new heaven and earth where we will tabernacle with the Lord.
This is only my understanding of the end. Only the Lord knows for sure and it is a mystery that is slowly being revealed.
Lord, thank you for glimpses of a better time and a time when You will rule eternal as our King on earth.
