To know and to go
January 31, 2008
Numbers 27:5,6 “And Moses brought their cause before the LORD. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying.”
When I want to know what God’s will is concerning something, I bring it before the Lord. Then I listen for Him to speak to me. I listen to His Word, preachers, saints, dreams, and sometimes coincidences. I don’t put too much stock in plain coincidences that are not even in context, but if I see or hear something that, taken at face value, hits the nail right on the head, I’ll pay attention to it.
Eventually I reach the place that I know what God’s will is. Then with His help and strength, I go.
Every time I’ve wondered about His will, he has been gracious and merciful enough to confirm it and to let me know for sure what He wants me to do, and I’m convinced that He will do the same for you.
You’re Beautiful

Numbers 24:5 “How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!”
This is how Balaam saw Israel when the Spirit of God came upon him. This is how God’s people look, in the Spirit.
As a Christian, don’t get discouraged when your walk is not easy. In your obedience, don’t think of God as an uncaring taskmaster.
Remember that in God’s eyes you’re beautiful, and He dotes over you.
