THE RABBLE … BEGAN TO CRAVE / NUMBERS 11:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 11:4

And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

THE RABBLE … BEGAN TO CRAVE / NUMBERS 11:4

The people in this mob, or unruly crowd, were not Israelites. Rather, they joined Israel during the exodus (Exodus 12:38). They influenced Israel to rebel against God and caused them to hunger after the vain pleasures of Egypt (Numbers 11:5).

THE PEOPLE COMPLAINED / NUMBERS 11:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 11:1

And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

THE PEOPLE COMPLAINED / NUMBERS 11:1

After only three days into their journey (Numbers 10:33), the people began to grumble and complain because the journey was more difficult than they had anticipated.

  1. They quickly forgot their deliverance from slavery and God’s mighty acts on their behalf. They would not trust God and commit their future to Him. This brought God’s anger and judgment upon them.
  2. As New Testament believers, we must never forget to show our gratefulness for Christ’s sacrificial death for us. Jesus provided our deliverance from sin and God’s gracious provision for guidance and blessing in life.

COME WITH US / NUMBERS 10:29

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 10:29

And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel.

COME WITH US / NUMBERS 10:29

Moses invited his brother-in-law, who was not an Israelite, to come with them and share the good things God had promised to Israel. The opportunity was always available for the Gentiles to join Israel in making the God of Israel their God. By doing so, they could also share in God’s promises and blessings. It seems that Hobab rejected the invitation at first but perhaps followed sometime later (Judges 1:16; 4:11). Later, Rahab, Ruth and many other Gentiles found acceptance and blessing with the Lord and His people.

YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED / NUMBERS 10:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 10:9

And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED / NUMBERS 10:9

God would help His people in war only if He was called upon by the sound of the trumpets (Exodus 28:12, 29; 39:7). That is to say, God placed certain conditions on the Israelites in order to receive His help. Likewise, God may not move on our behalf if we refuse to draw near to Him in prayer. Prayer is our trumpet call. It is a cry for His grace, protection and presence.

CLOUD … FIRE / NUMBERS 9:15-23

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 9:15-23

CLOUD … FIRE / NUMBERS 9:15-23

The cloud by day that looked like fire at night served as a sign. It represented divine provision, protection and guidance for Israel in the desert.

  1. The Bible points out that the people were to break down the camp and move or remain in camp only as the supernatural sign remained or moved. However, God’s guidance did not take away the need for human wisdom and planning. For example, Moses asked Hobab to advise them about the best places to camp in the desert (Numbers 10:29-32).
  2. Obeying God and following His will are, therefore, dependent on both God’s supernatural guidance and our own wisdom. But our wisdom is always based on the principles of God’s Word. It is important that we remain close to Him at all times and not separate ourselves from His protection and will.
  3. God’s promise, which was made in the Old Testament to lead His people, still applies to all who believe. He will guide us by His Word and by His Spirit (Romans 8:4). He will make straight the paths of all who acknowledge and accept Him as their God, Savior and guide (Proverbs 3:6; Psalms 37:23; Acts 5:19-20; 8:26; 13:1-4).

EVERY FIRSTBORN / NUMBERS 8:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 8:17

For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.

EVERY FIRSTBORN / NUMBERS 8:17

All Israelite firstborn males belonged to the Lord (Exodus 13:11-16); however, God allowed the Levites to become substitutes for all the firstborn (Numbers 3:9, 11-13, 40-41, 45-51; 8:14-19).

Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.

SET THE LEVITES APART / NUMBERS 8:14

By their example, the Levites were a symbol of the godly separation that ought to be the character of the entire nation.

LEVITES … AS A WAVE OFFERING / NUMBERS 8:11

(KJV) Numbers 8:11

And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the Lord for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the Lord.

LEVITES … AS A WAVE OFFERING / NUMBERS 8:11

The “wave offering” was the priests’ portion of the fellowship offering brought by the people (Leviticus 7:28-34). It was waved, or lifted up, toward the offeror or priest, so all could understand that God was accepting the offering of each person for service. In this passage, the Levites themselves are the wave offering to God. They are the symbol of holy things set aside for God’s use.

BLESS THE ISRAELITES / NUMBERS 6:23

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Numbers 6:23

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

BLESS THE ISRAELITES / NUMBERS 6:23

Numbers 6:22-27 show God’s gracious response to His people if they maintained purity in the congregation. The heart-devotion that they showed by their actions was viewed much like that of the Nazirite vow (Number 6:2). The “bless” (Hebrew barak) carries the idea that God’s presence, activity and love are brought into a person’s life and environment. 

  1. This blessing was set before God’s faithful servants under the conditions He had established (Deuteronomy 11:27).
  2. The priestly blessing consisted of three parts; (a) The giving of God’s blessing and His protection from evil forces and all the was harmful to one’s welfare in life (Numbers 6:24; Psalms 71:1-6). (b) The shining of the Lord’s face upon them, God’s favor, goodwill and grace toward the people (Numbers 6:25), which meant His anger was turned away from them (Psalms 27:1; 31:16; Proverbs 15:30; 16:14; Isaiah 57:17). Grace is God’s mercy, love and saving power. (c) The turning of the Lord’s face toward them (Numbers 6:26), caring for and giving to them with heartfelt love (Psalms 4:7-8; 33:18; 34:17). What God gives is “peace” (Numbers 6:26). Being at peace (Hebrew shalom) means being complete because God supplies all that is necessary to give life its fullness (Malachi 2:4-6). This includes hope for the future (Jeremiah 29:11). The opposite of “peace” is not only lack of harmony, but evil in all its forms (Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:3; 1 Thessalonians 5:23).
  3. God’s blessing on His people would result in their being used to touch all the nations. They would reflect the lighted torch of God’s salvation to all of humankind (Psalms 67; 133:3; Ezekiel 34:26; Matthew 28:19; Luke 24:50).
