Read Numbers 33
Think About It:
- Why did the Lord want Moses to write down the journey from Egypt to Canaan? Have you written down your journey?
- The Lord gave Moses instructions for the Israelites to carry out once they entered Canaan. Did some of them seem harsh? What do we do with the instructions God gives us?
- What would happen to the Israelites if they didn’t obey the Lord’s instructions? What happens to us if we don’t follow them?
Family Time:
- The children of Israel went out with boldness in the sight of all the Egyptians: Though they were slaves, they did not have to shrink out of Egypt; God gave them the boldness to leave as conquerors, not as escaping slaves. How could your current situation be used to bring glory to God?
- In Numbers 33 we see a full itinerary. This provides an inspiring record of God’s provision for and deliverance of his people. When you look at your life and the things that have happened, can you see the record of God’s provision and deliverance in your life?
- How would you feel if you had to move as often as the Israelites did?
- You shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you: God had a unique role for the nation of Israel in regard to the people of Canaan. He used them as a unique instrument of judgment against the Canaanites. What do you think God’s role is for you? How will He use you? Are you willing?
