- I told you in the last lesson about the little good morning poem prayer these lessons are named after.
- I found it interesting to read in Numbers 10 that Moses had something he said over and over as well.
- And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, “Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee before you.” And when it rested, he said, “Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.”
- I don’t have to say, “This is your day.” It is not about whether I say it or not, but it’s about acknowledging Him.
- I think this serves as a good reminder to build in acknowledgements throughout your day or week or wherever you are inspired to put them. Some other examples would be, when you see a certain time or type of time on the clock like 3:33, or whenever you get in the car, or each time before you eat. Those are all good times to build in a mantra, a little prayer or acknowledgement that you are His and He is yours and you are going with Him.
- In the beginning of Numbers 10, it talks about two silver trumpets.
- They were for the priests and they were used to summon the elders to the tent of meeting and to summon the whole congregation of Israel at times.
- There was also an alarm call for the trumpets. Now, I found this interesting. You would think that the alarm call would signify they should prepare for battle. But this is what the alarm really meant.
- sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the Lord your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.
- The alarm was to be remembered before the Lord and be saved.
- Why does God need a trumpet blown to remind Him of His people? What does this signify?
- It signifies acknowledging Him. You know the Proverb, “Acknowledge Him in all your ways and He will make your path straight.” You acknowledge God, God acts.
- When there was to be a battle, they were to acknowledge Him and He would act on their behalf.
- We’re not to rush headlong into solving our problems and then later come fussing to God about it not being solved. We could make our lives a lot simpler, if we acknowledged Him first, and let Him straighten out the path ahead.
