SPIRITUAL DIARY
My Worship Time Focus: Victory over Bashan
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Numbers 21:33-35
Message of the verses: “33
Then they turned and went up by the way of Bashan, and Og the king of Bashan went out with all his people, for battle at Edrei.
34 But the LORD said
to Moses, "Do not fear him, for I have given him into your hand, and all
his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of
the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon."
35 So they killed him and his
sons and all his people, until there was no remnant left him; and they
possessed his land.”
On page two
of this SD shows a map of the Exodus of Israel and also the conquest of the
nations including Bashan . In their conquest of Canaan , Israel
followed the pattern described in Numbers 21:32-35. Joshua would send spies out and then ask the
Lord if He would give that people into the hands of Israel and if He said He would they
would conquer them. In Joshua seven and
nine there are two occasions when he did not ask the Lord and because of this Israel were
defeated.
It is good
to notice that Israel
destroyed all of the people found in Bashan ,
for they were all evil in the sight of the Lord and that is the way that the
Lord wanted it done.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: Proverbs 3:5-6 are good verses to go along
with this section of Scripture and also in my life for in following these
verses there is wisdom. “5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not
lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will
make your paths straight.” Just as
Joshua and the children of Israel
sought the Lord in their conquest of the Promised Land so I should do so in my
everyday living.
My Steps of Faith for
Today:
- Continue to know the Lord better through reading and praying.
- Continue to learn contentment.
- Trust the Lord to guide my path.
I want to continue to review Romans chapter six to make sure
that I have it memorized correctly.
