Week 7 - Day 5

Numbers 23-26; Psalm 39

*Click here to read these passages:



The first census was taken when the Israelites were in the Desert of Sinai.  The second census in chapter 26 was taken 40 years later and even though the number is about the same, the only ones left from the original group were Moses, Caleb, and Joshua.  (And we know Moses does not make it all the way to the promised land.)  This generation has become God’s people “who live apart and do not consider themselves one of the nations.”  They are ready to trust and obey God. 

In Psalm 39 David writes, “Let me know how fleeting is my life….Each man’s life is but a breath.”  I have one life.  I was created by Him and for Him.  I want to spend my one life trusting Him and obeying Him.  I don’t want to imagine what I might miss out on if I choose to go my own way instead of His!

My church’s name, One Life, stems from this belief.  If you don’t have a church and want to know more, check out www.onelifechurch.org.
