As I read today's passage I was actually reminded of the earlier passage in Numbers where the daughters of Zelophehad had made a bold request for their father's inheritance and received not only his inheritance but also a change in the law for other families in the same situation... From that passage, we learned to go to God and ask with boldness...
In today's passage, the lesson continues...
In my life, there are some things I feel I have control over and others that I know I have no control over... so when there is a problem, I ask myself "do I have control over this?" and if I do, I try to take care of it on my own... and if I don't, I seek help... but from today's passage, I see that it doesn't matter if I have control over things or not... With anything that is going on with my life, especially things that bring me trouble, I should go to God... because HE is interested in my life... and HE can help me through my problem...
And in order for HIS solution to work, I need to obey... no matter what...
Even if it is not something I would prefer... or it seems unfair... the best outcome results from complete obedience...
This week, I will spend more time talking to God... sharing my life with Him... especially the stresses in my life... and after I finish talking, I will sit and listen... so that I can act in obedience
