Numbers 8:1-9:23Mark 13:14-37
Psalm 50:1-23
Proverbs 10:29-30
Numbers 9 wraps up with a picture of God's presence, in the midst of the Israelite camp. When God moved, the people moved, and when God stayed, the people stayed. The people were so connected with God, that his presence influenced daily life. What an awesome concept. God being so tied to a nation, that his influence could be felt daily. The sad thing is, eventually, God's presence was no longer felt. Eventually, God was no longer a daily part of their thought process. We must never forget that God has been among us. His presence was once so clear, so visible. Now, he still makes himself known to those who believe in him. So, we long for him. We look for him. We cling for the presence of the Lord! May the Lord always direct our steps and lead our thinking.

Hey, your getting ahead! Are you allowed to do that?
Great job on catching up to daily posts. I know it must have been difficult.
Great observations, as usual. Keep up the good work.

I know, but the hard thing is. That a lot of people think that God isn't here, they can't see Him, feel Him... But what actually has happened is that they have left his presence and put their trust in the world and other things. Just as the Israelite do later on in their life time. That's why it is important for all to constantly seek after Him, that He will be glorified.
(Thanks Chris, that's encouraging)
