Today we are reading Numbers 10. In this chapter we read about Israel’s departure from Sinai. “In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony, and the people of Israel set out by stages from the wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran. They set out for the first time at the command of the Lord by Moses. So they set out from the mount of the Lord three days’ journey. And the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them. And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day, whenever they set out from the camp. And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, “Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee before you.” And when it rested, he said, “Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.””
Numbers 10:11-13, 33-36 ESV Think of a time you and your family moved…what was your plan? Who was involved? Who was in charge? How did you anticipate the moving experience? I love the way Moses started and ended their journeys with God. Next time you travel, make a plan that specifically includes God as He leads you. Pastor Tim
