Day 10

Numbers 6:24-26

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

It's a real blessing to see a faithful God at work in the lives of his children. Today we read about the those who were numbered in the ranks of Israel and the dedication of the altar. But just consider all that you read today and how many God has numbered. Didn't God promise Abraham, who had no son of his own, an heir? And not only that, he promised that his seed would be numbered as the stars in the sky. And that's exactly what we read about: A faithful God who has kept his word.

And yet at times it's difficult to trust God for whatever reason. It's usually our circumstances that cloud our judgement and blind us. But praise the Lord, we have his word handed down to us which confirms from the beginning to the end that, "he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." Of this very thing we are made confident in reading his word (Philippians 1:6).
