—Numbers 10:29-36
by: Paula Davis.
As God’s people set out for the Land of Promise they took with them a seasoned desert traveler who could be their eyes and help find safe places to camp, but they did not put their hope and trust in him. They depended on the Lord to lead them and keep enemies from their path, inviting Him to be with them both as they travelled and as they rested. As we travel through our days, where do we place our hope? Is it in ourselves or other human wisdom and strength? Do we depend on the security we think we can have in money, intellect or prestige? Ultimately each of these will fail us. Only when we hope in the Lord and depend on Him to be our guide will we find the strength we need to get through each day and rest peacefully each night.
