Numbers 1-4; Psalm 40

Counting men. Order. Organizing. As the Israelites are about to embark on their journey into the wilderness, it first begins with a very detailed structure. Honestly I haven’t gained that much umph from these four chapters. It’s kinda boring. I don’t really care. I wonder if there have been passionate sermons on the first four chapters of Numbers.

In this Psalm, it acknowledges that God does not want burnt offerings. What God delights in is us following him and being an example everywhere we go so others are drawn in. We Are the living sacrifices. We are an offering. We are God’s. May our lips speak of God’s goodness. May our actions showcase those who are grateful and redeemed. May humility be what goes before everything we do.
