Numbers 1 -- What He Said

Moses entered the Meeting Tent to hear from God.  The million or two Israelites who'd just left Egypt and slavery were probably wondering what God would tell Moses that morning.  When he came out of the Tent, he pointed and uttered 12 names.  Twelve guys stepped forward, probably wondering WHAT  was going on.  Imagine their thoughts as Moses said, "The Lord gave me Your names and told me He'd picked YOU as a leader for your tribe." I'm almost in tears at the THOUGHT of it!  Those twelve guys thinking, "GOD wants ME?  Wait ... He KNEW my NAME ???  He KNOWS me and He still CALLED me???" How humbling yet affirming that must have been!  And in the sidebar in my Bible, by Steve Farrar, I read, "The destiny of those future generations is in your hands.  The choices YOU make with YOUR family TODAY will determine the quality of life in YOUR family tree for generations to come.  That's why ONE MAN CAN make a difference." Father, thanks for reminding me how much in awe I should be that You've chosen and called ME to get my boys from Ukraine and to LEAD THEM to be young mean after Your own heart.  Please help them to understand that and to step up to the challenge You've given them.
