Bible In 90 Days - Day 12

Reading: Numbers 21:8-32:19

What a long time of wandering in the desert.  What a lot of complaining! Interesting how often the Isrealites ended up losing faith and complaining and speaking badly about God and Moses.  How many times? God asked that often, too. 

I wonder how many times He has wondered that same question about me?

Bible In 90 Days - Day 11

Reading: Numbers 8:15-21:7

I absolutely LOVE the Lord's sarcasm.  I LOVE IT!  MEAT?? You want MEAT???  I'll give you MEAT! Till it comes out your NOSTRILS!  (See Numbers 11:18-23)

OK, but I have another Issue here with Numbers 12:1-16.  Aaron and Miriam BOTH oppose Moses.  So, why does Miriam get the skin disease and not Aaron??? HMMMMMMMM?????????????

And the Isrealites just amaze me with their whining and unbelief.   It's no wonder God got so frustrated with them.  I mean, He was right there with them every day!  He fed them and gave them water every day!  They could SEE his works EVERY DAY!

It's no wonder he says:

Numbers 14:11-12 (New International Version, ©2010)

¹¹ The LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the signs I have performed among them? ¹² I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they.”

Bible In 90 Days - Day 10

Reading: Leviticus 26:27-Numbers 8:14

OK, I have some issues with something in this reading.  

Look at this Test for the Unfaithful Wife found in Numbers 5:11-31.

I mean, come ON!  What about the Test For The Unfaithful Husband??  Shouldn't HE be made to drink a potentially poison liquid that will make HIS private parts shrivel and shrink??  I'm a little offended here.

However, I do like:

Numbers 6:24-27 (New International Version, ©2010)

 ²⁴ “‘“The LORD bless you
   and keep you;
²⁵ the LORD make his face shine on you
   and be gracious to you;
²⁶ the LORD turn his face toward you
   and give you peace.”’
 ²⁷ “So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
