DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 32 to 33:17; Psalms 1-3; Matt. 18:15-35
At the commandment of the Lord they rested in the tents and at the commandment of the Lord they journeyed. Numbers 9:23
As the Israelites journeyed to Canaan they followed God’s leading via a cloud. Often it travelled but it also rested. When this happened the Israelites rested in their tents, “whether it were two days, or a month, or a year” (Num. 9:22). Do you fret and chafe because you feel that your life is accomplishing little, or because of ill health that prevents you from getting out and serving the Lord as you would like? God caused Israel to rest, by keeping the cloud in one place for as long as He considered necessary. Trust Him when He calls you to rest too.—M. Robins
He gives us time to learn of Him and gently take our rest,
Let us not then frustrated be, but know that how He leads is best.—Author Unknown
