Day 65: Numbers 26-27

Today on Meditating the Word, a second census is taking of the Children of Israel; Zelophehad's Daughters are given their father's inheritance; and Joshua is chosen to succeed Moses. 

This is Day 65. We will be reading Numbers 26 & 27

Father God, You are just and your Word never fails. Just as you said, all those who refused to enter into the promised land, died in the wilderness. And yet, even in a patriarchal society, we see you show mercy to the daughters of Zelophehad, allowing them to claim their father's inheritance in his place. And then we see you honor Joshua, the one who had a different spirit, not a spirit of rebellion, but one of faith and trust in you and your promise. You exalted him above all of Israel and made him their leader in Moses' place. Father, may we have the boldness of Zelophehad's daughters and claim the inheritance you provided for us, and the spirit of Joshua believing in your Word no matter what our circumstances look like. In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
