How Moses responded to Joshua’s concern that two of the 70 elders were prophesying in the camp. This revealed Moses’ humble heart and also its alignment with God’s. For Moses’ desire was fulfilled when the Spirit came to abide in those who believed in Christ after His ascension. This event in the wilderness is a foreshadow of Pentecost.

From the time the tabernacle was set up, the presence of God came to rest upon it, appearing as a cloud by day and fire by night. Whenever the cloud lifted, the Israelites broke camp and followed. When it rested, they rested. When it moved, they did likewise. In this way, God taught them to depend on Him for daily direction. God was raising up a people for Himself. Today, we have the Spirit to guide us. When we are sensitive to Him, we know when to move and when to rest, when to go and when to stay.

Grumbling is the opposite of gratitude. It is like poison, once bitten, it spreads throughout the body. Have you been “snake-bit” with an ungrateful attitude? Confess and be thankful, so God can heal.

How Moses responded to Joshua’s concern that others were prophesying. Moses wished God would put His Spirit on all His people. Through Christ, this is just what God has done. And the Spirit is not just on us, but in us! So, forth-tell His Word!

Practice the Presence. When God moves, move. When He stays, stay. Do what you see Your Father doing.

Every family had an assignment from God. Each according to the 12 sons of Jesse, who was renamed Israel by the Lord Himself. Do you think God still gives out family assignments? What banner does your family serve under?

Is there an area of your life where you doubt God’s reach? God’s Word will not fail. His mighty arm will accomplish what His Word has declared.

Of the 12 tribes, Judah is given first position. They are to camp under their tribal flag emblazoned with a lion (Gen.49:9), situated due east, so that they are the first to rise with the sun. This is the tribe of the Messiah, whose return through the Eastern Gate is prophesied.
