TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Numbers 10:1-28
QUESTION FOR REFLECTION
► Q7: What truth is God revealing to me in this passage?
The trumpets were essential tools for the journey to the Promised Land. Without these trumpets, it would be very difficult to assemble the nation and march towards the Promised Land. First, the trumpets were meant for the calling of assemblies (Numbers 10:2). Secondly, they were for the journeying of the camps, to give notice when each squadron must move; for no man’s voice could reach to give the word of command. When the trumpets were blown for this purpose, they must sound an alarm (Numbers 10:5).
See the other uses of the trumpet in Numbers 10:9-10. With these key but different uses, it is therefore imperative to master the sounds and give the right signal for each occasion. There must be no confusion in the signals. Similarly, we must proclaim God’s message clearly to the people in word and deed (1 Corinthians 14:8-9).
By the pillar of cloud, the Lord guided the Israelites throughout their journey in the wilderness. Notice their ranks as they moved, the organisation of the twelve camps and the central place reserved for the Ark and the Lord’s servants. We too must ensure to support the Lord’s mission and His servants physically and with constant prayers.
