Numbers 26-30

 

“And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying, Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd. 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 him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient. And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.” Numbers 27:15-23

 

Lord, to be a man as Joshua was is something I could never attain unto. Lord, my desire is to be someone who can be used of Thee greatly but I know that I am nothing that I should be considered worthy of such a place. My only prayer is that my life would not be in vain, that I would live for Thee with my whole heart. Help to know Thy plan for my life and to follow it with all my heart.

Numbers 21-25

 

“And he answereed and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?” Numbers 23:12

 

Lord, I pray that money would never be something that I would use as an excuse to do or say that which is against Thee and Thy word. I know that I am a weak man and that I am noting in the face of such enemies. I pray that I would stand for the truth and that I would not become know for such things as Balaam.

Numbers 16-20

 

“Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?” Numbers 16:1-3

 

Lord, truly I am a prideful man. I pray that You would help me to be humble and to know my place. Lord…these were men of renown that gathered themselves together against the man of God. They were not just every day arm chair theologians…these were men who were known among the congregation as leaders. I pray that my pride nor my opinion would never take precedence over the way You would have things to be because it will only lead to destruction.

Numbers 11-15

 

“I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.” Numbers 11:14-15

 

Lord, I doubt highly that I have ever dealt with the stress that Moses dealt with here but I have felt like saying what he said. Lord, there are a lot of questions I have right now about what You are doing in my life and I am asking You if You would please help me to have the wisdom that is necessary to see what it is that You have for me at this time in my life. I pray that You would help me not be frustrated and anxious but rather to mindful of Thy word, to stay close to it and to become more faithful in the things that I do know that I ought to do. Lord, do a work in my life and help me to learn the things that I need to learn.

Leviticus 26-Numbers 3

 

“And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.” Leviticus 26:6

 

Lord, I know now that by Thy grace we are saved and that under no merit of our own would we be able to live up to Thy law…but God, my hope is that You would make this verse true in my life. You have allowed us to go through these trials because in due time, You have a plan for our lives. I pray that through this time of turmoil that You would bring a time of unparalleled peace and prosperity. I truly want to serve Thee but honestly feel like I’m coming around a blind corner on my path. Help me to trust You and not to despair.
