1. When Israel fell into sin with the Moabites, Phinehas took action. God commends him “because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites” (Numbers 25:13). In what way may God be calling you to demonstrate your zeal for Him in your life?

2. God told Moses, “Go up this mountain in the Abarim range and see the land I have given the Israelites. After you have seen it, you too will be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was” (Numbers 27:13). When we die, we too will be “gathered to our people.” How does Revelation 7:9 picture the people to whom we will be gathered?

Monday, Nov 30 Numbers 9-10  Read & Listen Online  (Click “Audio” link to listen)
1. Numbers 10:9 records, “When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the LORD your God and rescued from your enemies.” In many congregations trumpet blasts can be heard during worship services on Easter Sunday. Reflect on Numbers 10:9 and the appropriateness of trumpet blasts on Easter Sunday.

2. Moses was incredulous when God told Him He was about to provide the nation of people with a month’s worth of meat to eat. God’s reply, “Is the LORD’s arm too short? You will now see whether or not what I say will come true for you.” Then God indeed kept His promise. What means did He use to keep His promise (Numbers 11:31-32)? Through what means does God fulfill His promises to you? See 1 Peter 1:23, Titus 3:5, John 20:22-23, & Matthew 26:26-28.

Monday, Nov 16 Leviticus 4-6  Read & Listen Online   (Click “Audio” link to listen)
1. Leviticus 6:1-7 describes how someone who has sinned against his neighbor was to seek to make the matter right with the offended person. Similarly, as the love of Christ compels us, New Testament believers also seek to make restitution for the harm we have caused to others. What example does Luke 19:5-9 provide of the life-changing actions that result when Jesus intervenes in a person’s life? What examples can you give of similar actions on the part of God’s forgiven people?

Monday, Oct 26 Exodus 14  Read & Listen Online   (Click “Audio” link to listen)
1. As the people of Israel reacted to the approaching Egyptian army with fear and remorse, Moses reminded them of God’s power and protection. He said, “The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still” (Exodus 14:14). Apply these words to God’s Old Testament people to yourself. What does it mean to be still in the sight of God?
