Boundaries

“Command the children of Israel, and say to them: When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance – the land of Canaan to its boundaries.”

Numbers 34:2

The Lord really does want us to have boundaries with the world and worldliness! He wants us to be careful of what we come in contact with!

“Therefore do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.”

Numbers 35:34

It’s good to take a look in the mirror from time to time! Is the land we dwell in changing us to be worldly or godly? If we are looking and sounding more like the world, then we may need to change our boundaries!

“These are the commandments and judgements which the LORD commanded the children of Israel by the hand of Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.”

Numbers 36:13

We will always be better off when we are in the word of the LORD! Taking it in, Praying it through and then applying it to our lives!

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

John 14:15

Today lets make godly boundaries, watch where we dwell and keep and apply the word of the LORD! Have a blessed day!

Life is a journey.

“These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.”

Numbers 33:1

We may look at this chapter and think it’s kind of boring just a bunch of names and places where the children of Israel traveled! But what we need to realize is the LORD was with them every step of the way! Like us our daily life can seem ordinary and boring, but the LORD is with us all the way.

“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU.”

Hebrews 13:5

What we need to realize is the LORD is always with us everywhere we go, no matter how exciting or boring it maybe! So stay focused on what the LORD is doing with you, don’t be coveting what other people may have or not have!

“This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24

Realize today is the day that the LORD has made, and it is perfect! Also know that the LORD is with you every step of the way! Rejoice and have a blessed day!

Don’t wander!

“For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these people.”

Numbers 32:15 NKJV

Anytime we choose not to follow the LORD, and do our own thing we end up in the wilderness of life; Wandering around aimlessly!

“And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies saying things which which they ought not.”

1 Timothy 5:13 NKJV

One of the keys to a fruitful life is to be in the word of the LORD, hearing and doing what it says! Taking in a steady diet of God’s word will always keep us from wandering in the wilderness of the world.

“Without prophetic vision, the people throw off all restraint; but he who keeps Torah (Gods instructions) is happy.”

Proverbs 29:18 CJB

Let us follow hard after the LORD today! Have a blessed day in Him.

Wash in His word

“Purify every garment, everything made of leather, everything woven of goats hair, and everything made of wood.”

Numbers 31:20

It took God one night to take the children of Israel out of Egypt and forty years to take Egypt out of Israel! The same goes for us we need to be washing ourselves in the water of His word daily!

“But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.”

Psalm 1:2

The way to stay washed is by being in the word of the LORD, not the news feed of the world! Have His praises, His word being played and heard everywhere you go!

“He shall be like a tree Planted by rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.”

Psalm 1:3

Today let us purify and wash ourselves in the water of His word, have a blessed day!

Be careful of making vows

“If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.”

Numbers 30:2

We all need to be careful of making vows we can’t keep! Like get me out of this one LORD and I’ll never do it again.

“Better not to vow than to vow and not pay.”

Ecclesiastes 5:5

Unfortunately today people are used to making vows and not keeping them! Just look at the divorce rate not only with worldly people, but with believers too! The key to keeping a vow is the LORD!

“So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may daily perform my vows.”

Psalm 61:8

So today before you make a vow or a promise, seek and praise the LORD first! Have a blessed day!
