Numbers 26-27
It's interesting that God controlled the population of Israel over their forty years of wandering in the desert, so that as they were to enter the promised land they were still about the same size and strength. Let it not be said that they had any advantage over the prior faithless generation. Our success doesn't depend on our own size or strength. Rather, our success depends on God's size and strength!
Did you catch the faithfulness of Moses in this reading? He is reminded that he will not enter the promised land because of sin at Meribah. Without any moaning or groaning, he sets about the business of choosing a new leader for Israel. Not only did he not question God's justice, he displays sincere concern for the people under his charge. What an example of leadership!
