The staff that blossoms is the staff chosen by God and rightly positioned before Him.
A Lesson in Unbelief
Keep your face turned toward the God who has led you to where you are. Remember—the same God who has led you this far, will lead you all the way!
When Strength Becomes a Stumbling Block
Each of us is on a journey ordained by God, through which He intends to fulfill His purpose. The question is: Will we proceed according to our own strength and ability, or will we lean on Him?
No Matter Where We Are
Let’s learn a lesson from two men named Eldad and Medad, and remain in a posture that we are usable and fillable by the Lord, no matter where we are in the camp.
On To Our Paran
As we journey on to the Paran in our path, we, too, can do so in the confidence that we are enveloped in His presence. We are shaded, protected and bounded by His limitless power and grace.
Why Were We Chosen?
Through the shed blood of Jesus and through the wooing of His Holy Spirit, God has consecrated and called us unto Himself. And He has done so for His purpose. Let’s not lose sight that our very existence centers around His purpose and plan for our lives.
Called to Stand Guard
God called the Levites to be in charge of the Tabernacle, and to stand guard and protect it. We, too, have been called to stand guard.
Two Trumpets
The hardship of the wilderness results in the forging of a heartier instrument – one with greater strength and stamina. And that’s still true today!

The psalmist David records in the 37th Psalm: The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.(1) That was true of His chosen people, the Israelites, and it is true of us today. His plans and the way He orders our steps are not haphazard. He has a purpose and a plan, even when we have no idea what it is. And the details surrounding our every assignment are very exact though we may not recognize them. We see that truth revealed throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.
One of those places is in the Book of Numbers, as we see the Israelites’ journey through the wilderness. Did you ever stop and think about all of the logistics involved in moving a group of people, numbering between one and two million, from Egypt to the Promised Land? i am mindful of all of the planning that went into a trip for my wife, two children and me, when our children were younger. i am also mindful of the occasional disagreement that arose over who sat where, who slept where, who got to go first, etc. Now imagine doing that with upwards to two million people! God was leading His people on a journey through the wilderness and He would leave no detail unresolved.

Be Strong and Courageous
This isn’t the first time that discouragement, anxiety and fear have been on the rise – and it would do us well to learn from those who have gone before us.
A Beloved Son
How many of us find ourselves traveling through wildernesses in our lives, and are in desperate need of someone who knows the way to show us the way?
The Minority Report
Are you at a place where your eyes of faith are saying one thing, but eyes of fear are saying another?
The Load Is Far Too Heavy
As you journey down your own life path this day, do you find yourself struggling under a load that is far too heavy?
Unholy Ambition
Unholy ambition is not limited to what we see unfolding in the invasion of Ukraine. It comes in all sizes, shapes and behavior.
The Lessons of the Detour
The journey of our lives often resembles a car ride on an interstate highway. We never plan to encounter the accidents or the detours, but the reality is that they are a part of traveling along the interstate. The same is true of our lives.
