56 - "The Blood of Martyrs Spilt" Numbers 28-29
All these burnt offerings in Numbers 28 signify lives lived right burning in holy love for Him. They are counted, divided, settled. Now, prepare for war. No, here are the ordinances of worship. Take your God with you in all your life's offerings. Daily. Weekly. Monthly. He carries you.
My Dear Children, So many have walked this road before us. The blood of martyrs spilt. Ancient paths. Here is a new generation of men in Numbers 28. And they are concerned about walking with God in the midst of great difficulties and unsettling wars. They made daily sacrifices. Continual burnt offerings.
Moses was genuine. Appoint someone else. Moses disqualified himself. I have no defense before The Almighty. Moses and Aaron both didn't treat God as holy before the congregation of believers. Just like the eleven limp forward to fulfill the Great Commission, Moses tips his hat to another. May we not miss what God has for us this day, this chapter of our lives.
Our sacrifice has been paid. Our duty, our privilege, our life is to pray always, in everything, the good and the bad. Offer up your solemn hearts to God this day; let Him hear your praises ring through the skies.
Serve Him today with the best that you have, like the best wine poured out. It's a memorial of the blood of the martyrs. Poured out as drink offerings to God. Like our friend, Cyd, in Afghanistan. Murdered. For doing God's work there. May we reach down deep today to offer all to our God. Numbers 28:1-8.
