"Tell the Israelites: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, destroy all their stone images and cast images, and demolish all their high places."
Numbers 33:51-52
The Israelites have moved from Midian to the Jordan River, stopping only long enough to celebrate the Passover and to bury the high priest Aaron, who died on the journey. As they prepare to cross the river and enter the land of Canaan, they receive final instructions from the Lord. The Lord warns that, if His instructions are not followed completely, His wrath will turn on them instead of on the Canaanites.
Question of the Day:
When was the last time you failed to follow God's instructions completely? What were the consequences?
Prayer of the Day:
Guide me with specific instructions, and give me the strength to carry them out. Forgive me for my failures and shortcomings. Lift me up so that I may bring glory to You through my worship. Prepare me for the spiritual battles I will face each day, and bring me through them victoriously. Amen.
