提要
既然行程已結束,該再核點民數了。一來評估以色列軍隊的實力,二來決定迦南地的分配。此外也要選一位摩西的接棒人,上帝選中約書亞。他和迦勒是惟一從埃及地出來得以進入迦南地的兩個人。在約書亞領導之下,以色列得以維持武力優勢,並遵守上帝的命令、信守誓約。 |

每日與主同行
從一個七十人的家族,在四百年間繁衍到六十萬壯丁的大國,但以色列人在曠野漂流的這四十年中凋零不少。部份是因上帝對以色列民多次不順服的管教:可拉黨叛變死了14,700人(16:49):聽從巴蘭之語遭瘟疫死了24,000人(25:9)。
上帝是擴張或減縮你的勢力範圍?歷代志上四章十節一個不起眼的人物雅比斯禱告:「願你賜福與我,擴張我的境界,……」上帝就應允他所求。上帝願賜福給順服祂的孩子,向上帝求你想要擁有的地界吧! |

2/17/2009 Second Census |
Scriptures: | Numbers 26-30 |
Heart of the Passage: | Numbers 26:52-56; 27:18-23 |
Overview
Now that the journey is virtually over, it is time for a second census—both to assess Israel's military strength and to apportion the soon-to-be conquered territory of Canaan. In addition, it is time to appoint Moses' successor— the one who will lead the people in their conquest. God's choice is Joshua, one of only two members of the generation that left Egypt to survive the wilderness wanderings and enter the Promised Land. Under Joshua's leadership, the nation will enjoy both military victory and spiritual vitality as they obey God's commands and fulfill their holy obligations. |

Your Daily Walk
After multiplying from a family of 70 to a nation of 600,000 fighting men in the space of about 400 years, Israel actually declined in population during the next 40 years. In part, the lack of growth was because of the numerous judgments God sent to discipline Israel's disobedience: for example, 14,700 dead after Korah's rebellion (16:49); 24,000 dead after following Balaam's teaching (25:9).
Is God enlarging or shrinking your sphere of influence? Jabez, an obscure figure in 1 Chronicles 4:10, prayed, "Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast. ... And God granted him that which he requested." God delights in blessing obedient children. Talk to Him about an "expanded border" you want to be entrusted with. |
