“Let the LORD, the God of the sprits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation.”

Numbers 27:16

This doesn’t mean that a bunch of men can lay hands on someone and suddenly they are anointed! It means look for the LORD’s anointing on someone, be sure the man leading is being led by the spirit not the flesh!

“The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.”

We also need to make sure the LORD is leading us also! Is what we do and say being led by the LORD or our flesh!

“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

“Take account of the people twenty years old and above, just as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt.”

“Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.”

“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in My zeal.”

“But Peter said, Man, I do not know what you are saying! Immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.”

Luke 22:60

How often do we deny or doubt the LORD? Probably more often than we care to omit! We say things like “God d.. it or use the LORDS name in vain! We all blow it from time to time!

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

1 John 1:9

Even when we blow it, we need to be reminded that our LORD always forgives us when we call out to Him and confess!

“The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.”

Psalm 145:18

So whatever you maybe going through don’t deny or doubt instead call out to the LORD! Have a blessed day.

Walk humbly!

“The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way.”

Psalm 25:9

All we have to do is walk in the ways of the LORD, not ours, doing His will, and reflecting His love! Have a blessed day and Shabbat Shalom.
