Numbers 10:10
“Also at times of celebration, at the appointed feasts and New Moon festivals, blow the bugles over your Whole-Burnt-Offerings and Peace-Offerings: they will keep your attention on God. I am GOD, your God.”
“And blow the trumpets over you burnt offerings and peace offerings. The trumpets will remind your God of his covenant with you. I am the Lord your God.”
Here is the purpose of all this activity. It kept ancient Israel’s attention on God. God is raising the nation from newborn to toddler and beyond. Here in Numbers, God teaches Israel her first lesson, self-control unto obedience. Israel learns about her God and begins relationship with him.
Lord Jesus, thank you for showing us the Father. I get to know your love because ancient Israel obeyed your law. Praise and thanksgiving to you, my Morning Star.
