Scripture: Numbers 9:23
They camped at the LORD’s command and they marched at the LORD’s command. They followed the LORD’s direction according to the LORD’s command through Moses.
Thought for the Day: A journalist, Sydney J. Harris, offered these insightful words:
Happiness is a direction, not a place.
The Israelites were on a journey toward the Promised Land, but part of their difficulty was focusing too much on physical location and not enough on the path of righteousness. The land was a statement of identity in a world of national boundaries, but simply having land or a place to call home does not equate with happiness. It is about a choice one makes to follow certain ideals and values. As people of faith, we are to journey along the path trying to embody God’s high calling no matter what what unexpected situations and circumstances come our way.
Prayer: When you move forward, Lord, I wish to follow your lead. When you pause, let me be aware of your pause. With each passing day, may my life become more and more a reflection of your life. This is my prayer. Amen.
