So during my quiet time I have begun reading the book of Numbers. I know, hold the excitement. What I have discovered over the years is that God can teach me something new in any part of the Bible, and chapter one of Numbers is no exception. As I am reading the list of the tribes and how many men over the age of twenty there are, it strikes me that Moses is literally trying to usher around two million people through the desert. Then it hits me that the entire time these people are moving from place to place, God is providing food and water for everyone, every day. Talk about a Big God.
Then I am reminded that if God can do this, He can care for my family and yours. You see, it's not about numbers, it's about God's desire to love and care for people. I don't know about you, but the times my family was in a place that was not good, it was usually due to my poor decisions, not God guidance. His desire for families is to guide them through this journey of life while providing for their needs. If He can do it for two million, He can do it for a family.
