Our scripture today is Numbers 34:1-2 (NET).
Then the Lord spoke to Moses: “Give these instructions to the Israelites, and tell them: When you enter Canaan, the land that has been assigned to you as an inheritance, the land of Canaan with its borders…
In these verses God shares with His people the borders He has set for the Promised Land. Like everything in creation, God knows the names of all the places mentioned. While this is new information for the Israelites, God had this planned all along. He has led them to a place where they can work together as a people, but more importantly, partner with God as we did in the garden and become the example for the world. He waits for each of us to humble ourselves to His will and be part of His plan for all things.
Loving Lord, we are amazed that You are willing to forgive us and reconnect us to Your kingdom. Bless us to be willing to go where there is need, bringing Your love to everyone. Amen.
