TODAY’S BIBLE READING CHALLENGE:
Numbers 2:1-3:51
Mark 11:27-12:17
Psalm 47:1-9
Proverbs 10:24-25
Numbers 2:2 — What was the configuration of the tribes? Some say it was in the shape of a cross …
While others say it was more of a circle …
Numbers 3:39, 43, 46, 47, and 50 — Throughout history God has used people of various professions. Even accountants can be used for precise work in God’s service!
Mark 12:12 — Everything works for God’s plan, even fear of the crowds!
Psalm 47 — We see a repetition format of synonymous parallelism:
- Clap/shout
- Terrible*/great
- people/nations
- inheritance/excellency
- shout/trumpet
- God/King
- (no easily discernible parallelism)
- reigneth/sitteth
- princes/people
*Most people associate terrible with “extremely or distressingly bad” but it also is “causing or likely to cause terror.” There is a healthy fear of the Lord that is the beginning of wisdom!
Proverbs 10:24 — In contrast to the Fear of the Lord, Proverbs warns about the fear of the wicked.
