153 It Just Makes Sense (Num 36)

And on the Monday, Steve sat down after work.
And it was late.
For there had been much running around.
And he stretched forth his right hand and picked up a coffee.
And the coffee did flow down the throat of Steve.
Yea, and it was good.
And he satteth on the left side of Donna.
And it was good.
And Steve did declare, it was good.
For it was good.
And so nearly ended the night of the Monday.
Until Steve remembered he hadn't blogged.
And so Steve blogged.
And it was ordinary.
But in a good way.
;)

Numbers 36
Well the end of another book.
Numbers, for the challenged amongst you.
Canaan has been entered.
A promise fulfilled.
Yet it leaves an empty feeling somehow.
Joshua and Caleb remain of the horde who left Egypt 40 years before.
2 and a bit tribes have chosen not to remain in the promised land.
This staggered me.
Not accepting what God offered. Which was the best.
But there you go.

And now there is a final tricky bit to sort.
And it is sorted well.
God is big enough to cover all eventualities.
Even the highly unlikely and improbable ones.
The solution is easy, direct and followable.
It just makes sense.

I can imagine the trepidation the leaders had in coming forward and putting forth their dilemma.
How long had they stewed?
As soon as the decree to the allocation of land?

Throughout the journey every little detail was covered by God.
The intricacy in the design of the tabernacle. Covered.
The make up of each implement. Covered.
Food? Tick.
Water? Tick.
Safety? Tick.
Why was there doubt?
We are fallible.
We need security.
We long for acknowledgment.
And we yearn for acceptance.
God knew all the time.
And when the question was asked, there was an answer.
Sensible.
Reassuring.
Right.
