In this section, there is not a lot of necessarily theological significance, nor will there be in the next few sections of scripture, besides one point. Within all of this land allotment business, we see that the God of Israel, the same God who we as Christians worship today, was faithful to fulfill the promise which he made to the Israelites and their ancestors.
I think sometimes we forget that God is faithful to the end, and what he has promised us will most certainly come true. May I become a person who trusts and remembers that my God is faithful, he does not break the promises he has made, and he is faithful especially to never leave me. How quickly I sometimes forget it.
"Into your hand I commit my spirit;you have redeemed me, O LORD, faithful God." Psalm 31:5
"But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness." Psalm 86:15
"God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord." 1st Corinthians 1:9
"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 1st Corinthians 10:13
LORD, today, with all that goes on in my life, and how the things of this world sometimes don't life up to what they promise me, may I never forget that you are a faithful God who loves me, who has my best interests at heart, and will keep all the promises you make no matter what. Thank you Lord for being more faithful than I can imagine or know what to do with. Amen.
