Numbers 34-36, Psalms 37:23-40

What God said to me – Everyone falls at some point.  You don’t just stumble when you are first toddling – sometimes you stumble as you are walking.  The thing I want you to see is that in order to stumble, you first have to be walking.  When you’re walking with Me, “I AM” holding your hand so even if you stumble or even if you fall, “I AM” holding onto you so you won’t be hurled headlong.  I’ll catch you.  I’ll stop you.  I’ll help you.  The pathways I lead you on are not always smooth.  It’s easy to get distracted and trip up.  Sometimes the way is so difficult that even when you are totally focused, it’s easy to slip. Don’t worry.  “I AM” with you always holding onto you.  Keep going.

Numbers 31-33, Psalms 37:1-22

What God said to me – “Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.”  Do you understand that faithfulness is learned behavior?  It is grown in your life by practicing, day in and day out.  You must purpose in your heart to follow Me day by day, moment by moment and then begin practicing it.  It is not easy to reach the moment by moment, but it is possible.  It’s like learning to hold your breath under water.  When you first try, you can’t stay under very long.  But as you practice, you gradually increase the time.  So, start practicing moment by moment faithfulness.  You’ll be surprised how quickly you grow as you cultivate faithfulness by walking with Me.

Numbers 28-30, Psalms 36

What God said to me – You read about all of the sacrifices and offerings and think “how in the world was it possible to do all of this correctly and keep up with it all?”  The answer is that it wasn’t possible – that is why I came and made a once for all sacrifice.  You don’t need to present sacrifices for atonement.  The sacrifices and offerings you now present are not for atonement, but for dedication and service. The sacrifices and offerings you now present are yourself, your time, and your possessions.  This is how you show your devotion to Me.
