Numbers 2:34
“The People of Israel did everything the way GOD commanded Moses: They camped under their respective flags; they marched by tribe with their ancestral families.”
“So the people of Israel did everything as the Lord commanded Moses. Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the Lord had instructed them.”
It is nice to read of this obedience in Israel’s early relationship with God. They had just undergone big changes and exercise of faith. Upheaval makes following a leader easier. We feel more secure. Therefore, the Creator, and his ambassador Moses, were in ascendance in Israel’s mind. We take comfort in famioly and relationship in uncertain times just as Israel did.
Lord, I want to follow faithfully, and respect you fully, in good and bad times. Spirit guard my faithfulness.
