Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

March 8


Numbers 33-34

As I read of all the journeys of the Israelites, I'm reminded of the journeys of our lives. My wife and I travel the country in a recreational vehicle. Before that, we traveled with a tent. It has been filled with adventure! We have seen and done more than most people do in a lifetime. We have truly been blessed.


But, this is not the journey I'm thinking about. The journey that I speak of is the one we must all take. Life takes us through valleys, across rivers, to the tops of mountains, and to many places we could not have imagined before we arrived. And, the most important aspect of our journey isn't our toothbrush, or our pillow, or the myriad of items we think we need, or will need. The one thing we need above all else, is a good map to keep us from getting lost. God's word is that road map, and the ones who use it will never get lost. These will find their way safely to the promised land!
