How can we live lives that are impactful to those around us, especially our families?

How can we live lives that are impactful to those around us, especially our families?

Synopsis: Following up from the episode whereby the Midianites, who together with Balaam, instigated a plan to induce Israel towards idolatry and adulterous living (Num 25), we see God’s justice in His judgment upon them (Num 31). Additionally, God’s justice and also His fairness can be seen through the distribution of the booty. Since our God is just and fair, how should we live our lives?

In times of crises, people often call out to God and sometimes their prayers take the form of a vow. If God would help them, they would give something to God or abstain from something. Our text addresses various cases on women binding themselves with an oath. What about for Christians today? Did Jesus forbid His disciples from making vows?

Chapters 28 & 29 is an entire calendar of priestly sacrifices. Daily. Weekly. Monthly. Yearly. These sacrifices are cumulative, and there is not a day when an offering is not made to God. Old Testament laws about sacrifices rest on the promise of land. That was then. What about today? What do they mean for Christians today?

We use calendars to remind us what's important and what needs to be done. In God's calendar, besides reminding people to spend time with God at various times and in various ways, we'll also discover that the list of offerings variously describe the majestic theme of God's unchanging nature and attributes.
