Day 74...(Number 1,2; Psalm 24)..."A Book that Lives Up to the Name"

We begin Numbers today. If there is one Book that lives up to the name it would be this one. How does it begin? How about an accounting of the numbers. I am fascinated they could give an account back all systems of registration were in place. This makes Charge Conference look pretty simple. One observation in looking at these large numbers of people...Abraham did produce a people as numerous as the stars!

How about the Psalmist and creation reflections?

"It was you who opened up springs and streams;
you dried up the ever flowing rivers.

The day is yours, and yours also the night;
you established the sun and moon.

It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth;
you made both summer and winter."

God is the awesome creator of fall, winter, spring and summer. God is the God of order including the seasons.
