A Man With The Spirit Of God
"And the LORD said unto Moses, 'Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay thine hand upon him; and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon …
When The False Speaks Some Truth
"And he took up his parable, and said, 'Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it, or hath He spoken, and shall He not …
An Atonement
"And Moses said unto Aaron, 'Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.' And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the …
Presumption Is Deadly
"But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken His commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his …
At The Commandment of the LORD…
"And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning. So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by …
When and Where GOD Speaks

Day Eleven – Prophet’s Doom
The prophet of God was to be faithful to God, God’s Word, and to God’s people. The prophet of God was to speak the truth, speak what God said, and on the immediate surface of things it almost seems that Balaam was faithful in those things. However, What was he doing going with the enemy …
Day Ten – Hearing God; Going His Way
Reading Numbers 1 - 14 today, we find an accounting; and there; probably by some people’s accounting; is little grace. However, I find that assessment of “little grace” hard to accept. It is, afterall, by God’s grace that He gave us Law. The very first sentence of Numbers is, "And the LORD spake unto Moses …
Cities of Refuge
"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 'Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan; then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares. And they …
Subdued Before the LORD
The following is GOD'S promise to the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh. They had chosen to stay on the east side of Jordan, but made the promise that they would cross Jordan and fight for the land alongside their brethren. This is both a promise for their keeping their oath; …
A Zeal for GOD, and Holiness
Sometimes I fear, due to what some call grace, that holiness is a forgotten quality within Christianity. We need the zeal of Phinehas in dealing with sin; starting with our own sins. Due to the deceptive, lying, personal aggrandizing of Balaam to make his own greed successful the Moabites came in with lusty pleasures to …
Spring Up, O Well
"And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth. And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising. From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared. From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness …
Proof of Authority
"And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. And it came …
