In this episode, we read Numbers chapters 19 through 21, where God gives instructions for purification with the water of the red heifer, and we witness the deaths of Miriam and Aaron. Moses strikes the rock in disobedience, and the people continue to grumble as they journey through the wilderness. Yet in these chapters, we also see God’s faithfulness as He provides water, victory over enemies, and healing through the bronze serpent when the people repent. Join me as we reflect on God’s holiness, the cost of disobedience, and His mercy to deliver and heal His people when they turn to Him.

In this episode, we read Numbers chapters 16 through 18, where Korah, Dathan, and Abiram lead a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, challenging the leadership God has established. We see God’s judgment on the rebels, the people’s continued grumbling, and God’s mercy as Aaron intercedes to stop a plague. In chapter 17, God confirms Aaron’s priesthood with the budding of his staff, and in chapter 18, God outlines the responsibilities and provisions for the priests and Levites. Join me as we reflect on the seriousness of honoring God’s appointed leadership, the holiness of God, and His faithfulness in providing for those who serve Him.

In this episode, we read Numbers chapters 14 and 15, where the Israelites respond with fear to the spies’ report and refuse to enter the Promised Land, leading to God’s judgment and a decree that the current generation will wander in the wilderness for forty years. Yet even in judgment, we see God’s mercy and faithfulness as He gives further instructions about offerings and unintentional sins for the next generation. Join me as we reflect on the seriousness of unbelief, the consequences of rebellion, and the grace God shows as He continues to lead His people forward.
