DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 21:19 to 22:20; Lamentations 2; 1 Timothy 5

And Moses brought their cause before the Lord. Numbers 27:5
…Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord. 2 Kings 19:14

Moses was challenged by the situation the daughters of Zelophehad had brought before him. What was the right course of action? What was God’s will? Moses rightly laid the matter before the Lord.

Mine eyes are unto Thee, my God; my soul on Thee doth wait,
My hope is in Thy faithful Word, and in Thy love so great.
