Romans 12:9-12

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

Numbers.

Well I can't sleep so I am writing another entry. I just finished spending some time with my sweet Jesus and so I decided I would share what I am learning :). So I am starting a study in the book of Numbers. I have always kind of been scared of the first five books of the bible. Well.. Not literally afraid but they are hard for me to grasp. They deal with so many laws and history. I have been praying a lot about what God wants me to study and He keeps leading me to the old testament, specifically Numbers. The book of Numbers is such a beautiful book about when the Saints, God's holy people, go marching out from Sinai to the land promised to them as an everlasting possession. The book is all about the journeys of Israel but there is so much that can be applied to our lives today. The first week of study was a little rough and hard to get through but starting in Chapter 10- it is amazing! I am not too far into the study but God is teaching me soo much and opening my eyes to things I didn't know before. After this study, I want to read Leviticus and Deuteronomy. I have read these books before but never dug deep and studied them before. There is soo much meaning in these books and so many beautiful pictures of our heavenly father. I have been reminded that God is restoring, just, holy, redemptive, and fulfills His promises! Thank-you Jesus!
