God will turn the disaster of Israel's rebellion into a teachable moment.

He will flip their flop around for their good.Numbers 26-30 records these

lessons captured in a census, appointment of Joshua, offerings & vows.

They teach about.

1. Faithful Love.

Whilst our modern world questions the notion of commitment in love,

God loves His people steadfastly and faithfully.

May you find that faithful love of God in the good news of His Son.

2. Faithful Leader.

Israel needs a faithful shepherd-king to lead them to God's promise.

Whilst Joshua and David fulfilled their roles to some degree, there is

only one who is the ultimate shepherd-king who can lead us to that

promised spiritual rest- our Lord Jesus Christ.

3. Faithful Living.

Israel is called to consecration and commitment (via the offerings

and vows) as a response to God's love.

We too will find the ultimate joy of living in communion with God
