Read: Numbers 21:1-22:20;Luke 1:26-56; Psalm 57:1-11; Proverbs 11:9-11
The people were getting so close to the promised land yet having so many setbacks which made them very impatient. First, the Canaanites attacked and captured some of them, then there was no bread or water and they were getting bored of eating manna. God was so tired of their grumbling, he sent venomous snakes which bit and killed many of them. When they repented, God made a serpent on a pole which healed all who looked on it. (The serpent on the pole was a picture of Jesus on the cross which became the curse that heals us when we look on him. This symbol has become the logo for the medical field.)
To make matters worse, the king of Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory. This ended up working for their benefit because they defeated and captured all the land of the Ammorites up to the land of the Ammonites. Then they killed Og king of Bashan and his army and took possession of his land.
As they approached the land of Moab, Balak of Zippor was terrified because he had seen all they had done to the other nations. He sent money by the hands of his elders to the wizard, Balaam, to pay him to curse Israel. Balaam told them that he would ask God, but he could only say what God allowed him to say.
The spiritual kingdoms are totally subject to God, even if they are evil. Satan can only do what God allows.
In Luke, we see that the angel Gabriel came to Mary six months after Elizabeth became pregnant. This would make it the month of Passover. The angel told Mary she would become pregnant by the Holy Spirit and have a son named Jesus. He would be called the Son of the Most High and would inherit the throne of David. Mary did not understand how she could become pregnant naturally, but she knew that with God all things were possible.
Gabriel told Mary about her aunt Elizabeth and Mary went immediately to see her. At the sound of Mary’s voice, John the Baptist leapt for joy in Elizabeth’s womb. Together they shared their good news and praised the Lord.
Lord, we join with the Psalmist who sang, “I cry out to God Most High, who fulfills his purpose for me, and sends his love and his faithfulness.”

Tues.’s Devo - The Red Heifer
Read: Numbers 19:1-20:29: Luke 1:1-25; Psalm 56:1-13: Proverbs 11:8
The red heifer was the picture of Jesus on the cross. The red heifer had to be without defect or blemish and one that had never been yoked. Jesus was without sin and not under the law. The red heifer was killed outside the camp just as Jesus was killed outside of Jerusalem. All of Jesus was given, filleted and crucified on the cross. The wood, hyssop and scarlet wool (his robe) were props at his crucifixion. Everyone who applies the blood of Jesus to their lives must then be washed in the water or baptism to wash their sins away.
A dead body or someone who fails to purify himself refers to a person who is unsaved and fails to be saved. A person who dies in a tent represents a person who dies unsaved. Their tent is their old man and if they die in that state they will not be saved in eternity. An open container is a person who opens their door to every sin and does not allow God to close the door to sin in their lives. These will also not receive eternal life. They must apply the ashes, or death of Jesus to their lives and be changed with the pure water of the Word. Then on the seventh day, they will be clean. The seventh day represents the last day of their lives.
Moses led the people back to the same place they had come to when they left Egypt and needed water. On the first occasion, God told Moses to strike the rock and water would come from it. That water sustained them for 40 years. They were at the end, about to enter again and they were without water. This time God told Moses to speak to the rock. He struck it twice, instead. First Corinthians 10:4 says that Christ was the rock that followed them in the wilderness. Jesus was struck once for our sin. Now, we confess Jesus because he has already died. Everything Moses did was to be a picture of what God was going to do. When Moses messed up the picture, which cost him the promised land.
Aaron also had to die for his sin of rebellion. The only two people that got to enter the promised land of the original people that left Egypt were Joshua and Caleb.
Luke is an orderly book of the life of Jesus so it is our correct timeline. God came to the priest, Zachariah and promised him a son that would announce the coming of his son, Jesus. John was to be like Aaron was to Moses. He was filled with the Holy Spirit from the womb. Elizabeth was the aunt of Mary. Since it was the day of Atonement and the Jews mark birthdays from the day of conception, John’s birthday was the Day of Atonement. During the day of atonement, the people were to examine the state of their lives and the life of their nation and repent before the Feast of Tabernacles which represents Jesus’ second coming. After that it would be too late.
John the Baptist came preaching repentance from sin so the people would be ready for Jesus’ first appearance.
Lord, help us to prepare our hearts and lives for your second coming. Let us see that we are pictures of what God is doing on earth.

Mon.’s Devo - We Are God’s Choice
Read: Numbers 16:41-18:32; Mark 16:2-20; Psalm 55:1-23; Proverbs 11:7
Yesterday we read how the family of Korah rebelled against the family of Aaron. God opened up the earth and swallowed them. Now, a day later, we are reading that the people cried out accusing Moses of killing them. It is comical that they would blame an earthquake on a man! But then I think of all the times I blame things God is doing in my life on people who have nothing to do with it.
Since this whole thing had to do with the authority God had given the tribe of Levite, God decided to end the debate once and for all. God told all the leaders of the tribes to bring their rods with their names on them to the tabernacle. They left them there over night and God caused Aaron’s rod to sprout with buds, blossoms and almonds. God anoints who he chooses and it is not up to us to judge his choice. God sees what he can do with a man not what the man is at the beginning. We can all be thankful for that. We all start out raw and unpolished but through trials and tests we are sanded down to the vessel that God can use.
God chose the Levites as a gift to them. Our ministry that we are called to is a gift to us. The fact that we have been given salvation is a gift to us. I am so thankful!
Yesterday, in Mark we read that Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Jesus had followed the soldiers to see where they would put Jesus. They were the only ones mentioned that did this. As soon as the the Sabbath was over, they went to the tomb to anoint his body with spices. Instead of meeting a huge stone, they met an angel who told them that Jesus had risen and gone ahead of them to Galilee.
Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, the two men on the way to the country, and to the eleven disciples. He commissioned them to go and do the things he had done on earth. Then Jesus was taken back to heaven.
No matter how insignificant we think we are, we are important to God. God chose us first because he saw what he could do in us. All we have to do is yield.
Lord, help us to realize that we are so blessed to have the gift of salvation and our ministry. Help us to yield to you.

Sun.’s Devo - Jealousy Leads to Murder
Read: Numbers 15:17-16:40; Mark 15:1-47; Psalm 54:1-7; Proverbs 11:5-6
God gave provision for the nation and the individual because we will be judged on those two fronts. God foresaw a time when the Israelites would stray so far from the truth that they would not even know they were breaking his laws. He made a way for them to come back. He also did this for the individual. We have been given a wonderful gift of a conscience but when our conscience has been so compromised and we have never been told the truth, God does not hold us responsible until we are taught the truth. Then we are held responsible.
Korah was one of the Levites from the family of Kohath. They were responsible for the most holy things in the Tabernacle like the ark itself. He was from an anointed heritage yet he rebelled against Moses along with 250 of the most prominent of Israel. They were jealous of Moses and Aaron’s positions as leader and High Priest. Moses tried to meet with them to discuss it but they wouldn’t have it so God summoned them to a showdown between Moses and Aaron and them.
They were all to bring censors burning with incense to present before the Lord. God was ready to kill the whole congregation but Moses interceded for the people and asked God just to judge the guilty. God had Moses separate the rebels from the rest of the people and opened up the earth and the earthquake swallowed them up along with their families and all their possessions. Their censors were all that were left so Moses had them hammered to the altar to remind the people not to rebel and covet the office of the Levite.
This is the picture of what Satan and his angels did when they rebelled against God and were thrown down to hell in chains.
The Old Testament can seem so harsh at times but these are all lessons to teach us. When we covet the ministry of another person or their walk with the Lord, it is not pleasing to God or healthy for us. We are all loved by God and the greatest thing we can do is to help others reach their destiny. If we put God first and honor others we will reach our destiny without striving.
The way the Sanhedrin treated Jesus and tried him secretly at night broke so many of their self-made laws because their jealousy had reached the point of murder. It is hard to read about the crucifixion without emotion. Jesus did all this for us. He chose to lay down his life. They didn’t take it from him. He willingly laid down his life to become the final sacrifice for sin.
Lord, thank you over and over for becoming sin for us and dying on the cross. May we walk in freedom and gratefulness.

Sat.’s Devo - The Master’s Peace
Read: Numbers 14:1-15:16; Mark 14:53-72; Psalm 53:1-6; Proverbs 11:4
The night that the spies came back with their evil report, all the people cried and grumbled against Moses for bringing them out of bondage. Talk about drama queens! These people are so easy to point fingers at, but so easy to mimic. As mad as I get reading about them and their unbelief, I can so relate to them in my own life. If they could have read their story in a book, I wonder if they would have reacted differently. I wonder if I would react differently if I would reread my own story of all the things God has done for me.
God has promised us that ALL THINGS work for the good for those who love him and are called into his purposes. That is a promise to every person who has called on the Lord and made Jesus their king.
God is a god of love who is slow to anger and forgives sin and rebellion but he does not leave the guilty unpunished. God forgave them, but their rebellion cost them entrance into the promised land. They would all die in the wilderness and their children would receive the promise. Their sentence was to wander in the wilderness one year for every day the spies spent in the promised land and the spies all died of a plague except Caleb and Joshua. They had a different heart.
Some of the people took matters into their own hand and went into Canaan anyway, without God’s presence and his favor. They were slaughtered.
But…God was already planning for the future. He knew that they would eventually enter and he gave them laws for offerings they would present once they got there.
In Mark, Jesus was taken to the Sanhedrin to stand trial and be sentenced by the religious institution of the day. It was the first time that Jesus openly confessed that he was the Messiah. He not only said he was the Messiah, but he predicted his second coming also.
Peter denied Jesus three times just at Jesus said he would. Everything was falling into place even though it didn’t appear to be.
That is so true of our lives. Falling into place does not look so orderly when it is happening, but the end speaks the better truth. That is why God told us not to be weary in well doing because if we do not faint, we will reap the reward.
Lord, help us to see with your eyes and put our faith in you even when things look like they are falling apart. You are the master craftsman who puts broken pieces together to form masterpieces.

Fri.’s Devo - The Trials of Leadership
Read: Numbers 11:24-13:33; Mark 14:22-52; Psalm 52:1-9; Proverbs 11:1-3
The children of Israel were not satisfied with the manna from heaven so they craved meat. Their constant complaining and entitlement was wearing on Moses so God told him to appoint 70 men to help carry the load of all the administration. The Lord came down in a cloud and put his spirit on these men and they prophesied. Two of the men that were to be of the 70 prophesied in the camp and were reported to Moses. The meanings of the names of the men were “God has loved” and “loving and affectionate”. These men were the first evangelists that took the Word out of the area of the Tabernacle out to the people. They were a prototype of what was to come.
Sure enough, the quail came and everyone gathered at least 30 bushels of quail. God was so angry that they would crave other food than his that he sent a plague that killed many of them.
Miriam and Aaron started gossiping about Moses because he had married a Cushite wife. They were really jealous of his leadership and looking for an excuse to taint his name. God rebuked them sternly and stood up for Moses and his name. Miriam was struck with leprosy. It was Moses that interceded with the Lord on her behalf and got her leprosy reduced to seven days. This is God’s word to us not to speak against his leadership even if we don’t agree with their lifestyle. It is God that put them there and it will be God that removes them.
God told Moses to send out 12 spies, one from each tribe to scout out the promised land of Canaan. It was to be a test of their faith and ten of them failed. They could only see the giants in the land which overshadowed all the good of the land. Joshua and Caleb saw the goodness of the land. They believed they could conquer the giants.
In Mark, Jesus had his last supper with his disciples. He told them the prophesy about how the shepherd would be struck down and all the sheep would be scattered. They couldn’t believe it.
After eating, they followed Jesus to the place called Gethsemane and Jesus prayed about what was about to happen. He had to wake his disciples three times to keep them awake and praying. Judas came with a battalion of Roman soldiers. With them were the chief priests, teachers of the law and the elders. The shepherd was taken and the sheep scattered.
A “watcher” was there from heaven wearing a linen garment. He left naked because they seized him by his garment. He was a picture of how the disciples were left - naked and exposed without their covering.
Lord, help us to be humble, always looking for the truth.

Thurs.’s Devo - Jesus Loved the Unloved
Read: Numbers 10:1-11:23; Mark 14:1-21; Psalm 51:1-19; Proverbs 10:31-32
God told the children of Israel to make two trumpets to call the community together and tell them to march. They were their way of communicating with everyone at once. They were to sound the trumpet before their feasts days and new moon festivals.
When the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O Lord! May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you.” and whenever the ark came to rest, he would say, “Return, O Lord, to the countless thousands of Israel.” What great proclamations to make at the beginning of our day and at the end.
The people complained constantly. The KJV called them a mixt multitude. Mixt in the Hebrew means a promiscuous assemblage of people. They were tired of the same manna to eat and craved the food of Egypt. God told Moses to call seventy elders together and tell them that God had heard their grumbling and was sending meat. They would eat it for a month until it came out of their nostrils and they hate it. Their blessing would prove to be a curse because of their hard ungrateful hearts.
It is two days before Jesus’ crucifixion and he is in Bethany. Bethany means “date house”. This was to be a date that would go down in history for sure. Dates are mentioned many times in the Bible. Their branches were used on Palm Sunday to welcome Jesus to Jerusalem and proclaim Him their Passover Lamb. The date leaves were used to make the lulav which was a bouquet of branches they used in waving before the Lord at the Feast of Tabernacles. Every bit of the date can be used for things like vinegar, honey, charcoal, wine, and even rope. It is a very versatile and useful plant full of minerals.
It was in Bethany that Jesus was anointed for burial by Mary in the house of a leper. Jesus loved the people that the world considered unclean and unimportant. He gave them love and hope.
Jesus spent his last days with the people who would strengthen him for what was ahead and the people that he was depending on to carry on his work.
Lord, I pray that our lives would be like the date that everything we do and have would be useful in your kingdom on earth and in heaven.
