Daily Devotion with host Cynthia Martin, produced 5 days a week, with Bible reading chapter by chapter, commentary, and prayerful application. In 15 minutes or less. The goal is to learn, gain insights, and consider how we can actively apply the word of God to our life.
Today we are discussing the continued review that Moses is giving to the Children of Israel before they are to cross of the Jordan to begin taking possession of the promised land.
Today we continue the review of the Children of Israel as Moses reviews before they cross of the Jordan and take possession of the land God promised them many years ago.
Introduction to the book of Deuteronomy and review of chapter 1. Moses gives a final address to the people of Israel and reviews the law and the history of their travels with Him. He applies the law to the new land and directs them to remember.
This chapter the last of the book reviews a topic covered in Numbers 27. This ruling set precedence for the future. It protected the inheritance of each tribe. We also note the people are as close to the promise as they could be and not be in it. Join me today as we close out the book of Numbers
Today we are reading Numbers 35, the chapter focuses on Levitical cities, God gives the Levities their own portion. These cities were spread out throughout Israel so all of the community had access to a priest. In this chapter, we also learn about cities of refuge of which are totally different from what we understand that to be here in the United States.
Today we are reading Numbers 34, and discussing the boundaries given to the Israelites.
Today we are reading and discussing Numbers 33. In this chapter, we will review the 40 year Journey of Israel from Egypt to the river Jordan.
two and a half tribes to "settle: on the east side of Jordan. Scripture tells us they looked around and saw where they were was suitable. Going over the Jordan was unknown and they weren't able to trust God for better than what they saw. How does this apply to you and me? Are you able to trust God for better, or for what He wants for you to do, to be, to have? Good questions from our study today.
Today we are reading and discussing Numbers 31. Vengeance on the Midianites, of which seems out of character for God. But we must realize there comes a time when vengeance and judgment do occur.
Today we on Daily Devotion, we are reading and discussing Numbers 30. Moses speaks to the topic of vows. In our culture, we miss the importance of keeping our word and any vow. These are serious to God, and He also attaches accountability to them as well.
Today we are reading about The Festival of Trumpets, The Day of Atonement, and The Festival of Tabernacles. Today each of these events still have an important impact on us as Christians. I encourage us all to look at them and ask the Lord how He would have you to respond when they occur each year.
Today we are reading Numbers 27, in this interesting chapter we see God's provision for the daughters of Zelophehad.
The second census, today we are reading Numbers 26, in which Israel is instructed to take a second census. The first census was taken at Mount Sinai to discover how many fighting men were in the camp.
The second census, today we are reading Numbers 26, in which Israel is instructed to take a second census. The first census was taken at Mount Sinai to discover how many fighting men were in the camp.
Today we are reading through Numbers 25, titled Moab seduces Israel in my Bible. Here we see what an enemy could never accomplish against, Israel did to itself through disobedience.
Today we are reading Numbers 28, and reviewing the offerings morning and evening, Sabbath offering, Monthly offerings, Passover, and the Festival of weeks, we call Pentecost. Join us as we discover that He set out rest, provision, and appointments to meet with him.
Even when Balaam continues on God uses his mouth to bless the Israelites.
We are reading Numbers 22, in which we are reminded to do what God has said the first time, don't entertain if we can get close.
The people rebel again and begin to speak against God. Snakes invade the camp bite the people and people are dying. After repentance, God tells Moses the antidote, put a serpent on a pole and if/when the people look to it they will be healed.
A lesson we will learn today in Numbers 20, is that no one is exempt from obedience. Moses, Miriam nor Aaron could plead exemption from the judgments and laws that God had spoken. As we grow in the Lord, and as we gain authority and power we are still required to be obedient, God said speak to the rock and Moses hit the rock. That disobedience caused him to not see the promised land.
Today we are reading Numbers 19, in which we will see the red hefifer and the symbolism of the ultimate purification and cleansing to come.
Today we read what the Lord assigned to the priests as their portion. forever. As priests, God assigned their tasks and made provision for their lives. God Himself arranges a covenant of salt (friendship, value) with the priests.
Today reading In Numbers 16, we see Korah, Dathan, and Abiram voice their opinions and rise up against Moses and Aaron's position and responsibilities. It did not end well for them.
Today we are reading Numbers 15 that deals with Intentional and Unintentional Sin. The important idea we must remember is that God is serious about His word (law). He also wants a holy people, set aside for His purposes.
Today we are reading Numbers 14, the 12 who had been sent in to check out the promised land returned with their report in chapter 13. Eight had an evil report and two who stated we can. Today continues with the response of the people.
Today we are reading Numbers 13, Moses sends spies into the new land, the promised land to check it out. When they arrive all that they had been promised was there. But they also saw the people and obstacles.
Today we are reading Numbers 12. In this chapter, we see that Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses, because of his wife. We see God act very quickly and defends Moses as his choice and also put Miriam and Aaron in their place.
Today we are reading Numbers 11 and will be looking at Fire and Quail from the Lord. Neither was provided as a blessing. We must be careful about what we cry out for because sometimes God gives it to us.
Today we are reading Numbers 10, and discussing the movement of God's people. "The Silver Trumpets" are introduced as a signal of movement and a call to assemble. I wonder if The Silver Trumpet will once again be used, for the last trumpet that will be blown at the end of this age? Curious? Let's talk about it.
Today we are reading Numbers 9, the people had now been in the wilderness for one year. Remember they left Egypt right after the first Passover. The year was reset so that Passover began a new year. Join me as we look at this important chapter.
Today we are reading Numbers 8, Setting up the lamps, and the setting apart of the Levites. Up to this point in time all of the work of the priesthood had been carried out by Aaron and his sons. God now wants the Levites 25-50 to serve.
Today we are reading Numbers 7, we see the recording of the offerings at the dedication of the Tabernacle. This offering took 12 days to complete.
Today we are looking at the vow of the Nazirite and will conclude this chapter with the priestly blessing.
Join me as we read through Numbers 5, and look at purity in the camp, separating ourselves from sin. We will read about restitution and important subject not talked about enough by Christians.
In today's chapter Numbers 4, we see each group, and each man was given a task to support the work of the tabernacle, the care of the tabernacle, the upkeep, and the moving of each part. Each duty or task was and is important to keep the tabernacle working properly. This is the same today each person has their role in which God would have them fulfill.
Today we are looking at numbers 3, in which the Levites who are taken as His special "firstborn" right. This principle opens the door to the topic of firstfruits as well.
Today we continue our look into the fourth book, in our Bibles, most agree that Moses was the author of this book. The people had been set free from Egypt and have been in the wilderness for about a month when God begins to work in His people. This chapter starts the organization of the camp.
Today we begin the book of Numbers, the Hebrew title is "In the Wilderness". This book relates so in so many ways to our lives today.
Leviticus 27, is the last chapter of the book. It lays out the rules and requirements when giving a gift to the Lord. The chapter also includes rules on how to redeem something offered to the Lord.
Today we read in Leviticus 26, an overview of the promise of blessing and the result of curses if Israel does not follow the commandments that have been given to them. Remember this was not given tot he enemies, or those who do not know God but to His people. Many speculate that because of Jesus this no longer applies to those who are His. However, if we look at the lives of many Christians I wonder are they living under blessing or Curses.
Today we discuss Leviticus 25, Sabbath and Jubilee - Interesting to read when God creates a rule He makes provision for us in this rule.
Today as we read through Leviticus 24, the priests were told to keep the lamp burning continually. Today. we can apply the same instruction to keep the light, the spirit, our spiritual lives burning.
In this chapter Leviticus 23, we take an overview look at "The Feasts of the Lord". Each feast has prophetic meaning and deep spiritual truths for us to embrace.
Today we are reading Leviticus 21. I've named this chapter "The Call to be Different" for reasons that God himself has specifics on how He is to be treated. He has specifics on how we are present ourselves before Him and how important it is to make the distinction between what is his.
God is holy and His desire is for those who serve Him to be holy as well. Today we look at His requirements for the priests who served Him in the tabernacle. Today we see that Jesus raised the level, He took what we see/saw in the Old Testament the outward and made it inward. Its not what we "look" like on the outside but it is who we are on the inside.
Today our reading brings us to Leviticus 20, labeled in my Bible as punishments for sin. It does not sound like fun reading however the law helps us to know right from wrong and should be part of our foundation in understanding what God wants.
Today we are reading Leviticus 19, in this chapter we read be Holy, Honor the poor, live honestly, love your neighbor, and Keep His decrees. What a great practical list of how to live.
