Good afternoon, everyone!
Today I read Numbers 3-4.
And in today's reading, God is very specific about the order in which the tabernacle is to be taken down and put up, and who is supposed to do what.
And that reminded me of something.
God's Word is very detailed. God's laws are never vague.
They may be confusing sometimes if we don't have the whole historical and cultural context.
There is never a reason to say "I don't know" about how God expects us to live our lives. He is very specific about that.
He is very specific about what He has called us to do, and how we are expected to behave.
Now, I imagine you're forming the word "but," because it just formed in my mind.
I do that far more often than I should.
"But Lord, I don't know what to do!"
"But Lord, I don't know what You expect of me."
"But Lord, what did You say about..."
"But Lord, surely just this once is okay."
And on and on.
And really, there's no excuse for it. Because God is very clear about what He expects from us. Just as He was for the Israelites.
So that's what I learned today.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Numbers 5-6.
