“But an individual who does something wrong intentionally, whether a citizen or a foreigner, is blasheming Adonai. That person will be cut off from his people.”
Numbers 15:30 CJB

In other words, this is the person who willingly sins against Adonai without any regard! They know what they are doing is wrong and basically don’t care! We are to just stay away from them, cut them off from our lives!

“Why does the wicked despise God and say in his heart, It won’t be held against me?”
Psalm 10:13 CJB

This is a good question, but the world really has no fear of God and we should just stay away! Usually what happens when we mingle with wicked people, it just brings us down and upsets us! Draw close to God instead!

“Come close to God, and He will come close to you. Clean your hands, sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded people!”
James 4:8 CJB

Today, we all need to separate ourselves from worldly people and draw closer to God instead!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Adonai is slow to anger, rich in grace, forgiving offenses and crimes; yet not exonerating the guilty, but causing the negative effects of the parents’ offenses to be experienced by their children and even the third and fourth generations.”
Numbers 14:18 CJB

We are truly a blessed people who have a forgiving gracious God! What we need to understand is even though Adonai forgives and forgets, remember our sins have repercussions that always affect those around us! We need to be a repenting people and try to avoid sin all together!

“But if you will not do this, then you have sinned against Adonai, and you must understand that your sin will find you out.”
Numbers 32:23 CJB

We always need to be careful of what we do, because if we think we are getting away with it, we are not! God knows all and sees all!

“He has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.”
Psalm 103:12 CJB

Today, rejoice in His forgiveness, but be careful of getting into sin!
Have a blessed day in Adonai knowing you are forgiven!

“What they told him was this: We entered the land where you sent us, and indeed it does flow with milk and honey-here is its fruit!”
Numbers 13:27 CJB

When God sends us out, there will always be fruit and God sends us out every day!

“My fruit is better than gold, fine gold, my produce better than the finest silver.”
Proverbs 8:19 CJB

Anything God puts out in front of us is always going to be better than anything we can imagine! So what we need to do is keep looking for the fruit God has placed before us!

“So go out to the street-corners and invite to the banquet as many as you find.”
Matthew 22:9 CJB

Today, look for people (the fruit) to share the Good News of Salvation with them!
Have a blessed day!

“Miryam and Aharon began criticizing Moshe on account of the Ethiopian woman he had married, for he in fact married an Ethiopian woman.”
Numbers 12:1 CJB

We all need to be careful of criticizing people, especially when we may not know all the facts!

“Don’t judge, so that that you won’t be judged. For the way you judge others is how you will be judged-the measure with which you measure out will be used measure to you.”
Matthew 7:1-2 CJB

The idea of judging here is condemning, avenging or damning! We can judge rightly, but it’s not up to us to discipline or condemn! Instead we should comfort, encourage and kindly correct!

“Adonai, correct me, but in moderation, not in Your anger, or You’ll reduce me to nothing.”
Jeremiah 10:24 CJB

Today, let’s be careful about being judgmental, especially since we don’t want God to judge us into nonexistence, so let’s not do the same to others!
Have a blessed day in Him!

“Next, the mixed crowd that was with them grew greedy for an easier life; while the people of Israel, for their part, also renewed their weeping and said, If only we had meat to eat!”
Numbers 11:4 CJB

No matter what, even with believers, there will always be people in the crowd that are greedy and self centered! In fact we all can be self centered from time to time!

“In the desert they gave way to insatiable greed; in the wastelands they put God to the test.”
Psalm 106:14 CJB

Do we put God to the test? Are we greedy? Actually, only you can answer this question, but the solution to testing and greed is always going to be Yeshua!

“As for me, Adonai, let my prayer to You come at an acceptable time; In Your great grace, God, answer me with truth of Your salvation.”
Psalm 69:13 CJB

It’s always the acceptable time when we are calling on Adonai for His will to be done! Today is a good day to check and see if we are being greedy and selfish and pray for Adonai to remove this from us!
Have a blessed day accepting the will of the Father!
