They are in their fourth decade of learning dependence on God in a wilderness. All of these prescribed offerings are for their dependence. Do they think they would have learned to trust God if they were living comfortable lives. Do we? Are we slackard or stirred up? Is their true holiness in the way we move and breathe and live toward our family and friends. A holy convocation. Numbers 29:12. The only way that there is holiness...true repentance accompanies our wilderness walk.
We know the fate of these followers who are attempting serious offerings, one after another. All of our sobriety and sincerity could amount to little. Wondering if a demanding spirit pervaded their heart? After all I've done for you, God ---umpteen offerings---and you treat me like this. Do we say the same?
I was treated poorly today and something in me rose up to protect myself---shouldn't have to put up with this. But Someone was stronger in me to move me in compassion. Only God. May we learn a little deeper dependence in this situation we face---whatever it is---for His Glory and for the Rising Generations whom we touch every single day.
