Day 86...(Numbers 24,25; Psalm 86)..."More Numbers...Great Thoughts"

The Book of Numbers lives up to the name again. Look at all the headcounts. After the Baal worship, counts were made anew. The integrity of worship created a need to determine who followed the first commandment. I am intrigued by how they made accurate counts back then without ushers!

The Psalmist offers words in which to aspire...

"In the day of my trouble I will call to you,
for you will answer me."

"Teach me your way, O LORD,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name." (E. Stanley Jones used to teach about the danger of
divided loyalties)

"But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness."
