And whenever the ark set out, Moses said, “Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee before you.” 36 And when it rested, he said, “Return, O Lord, to the ten thousand thousands of Israel.” Numbers 10:35-36 – This would have been an exciting day for Israel, they were finally setting out to the Promised Land. For over a year it had been escape from Egypt and camp out by Mount Sinai to get the law, but that all changed in our chapter. The cloud lifted from above the tent of meeting which was the sign for the entire nation it was finally time to move. Our verse above shows the heart of Moses during these days. Whenever the cloud lifted and the ark of the Lord set out to follow wherever the cloud went, Moses’ desire was for the Lord to go before them and make clear the path of those who would be harmful to Israel and clear of those who hated the Lord. Then whenever the cloud stopped and the ark rested, Moses’ desire was that the Lord would return to be near the multitude of His people. How wonderful is it that the heart’s desire of Moses is what we have daily in Jesus. Scripture tells us that the Lord goes before us and is a mighty victor over our enemies. Scripture tells us that the Lord knows our getting up and our lying down, and He is with us always in both. There is never a need to ask the Lord to return, for He never left us. And there is no enemy we ever have to fear for the Lord has scattered them and defeated death and Satan already. Know in Christ you have what Moses dreamt of. God has defeated your enemy and God will never leave you. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3361
