Scripture Union Daily Guide Saturday 8 March 2025 – OUTLINE
Moses narrated how the King of Moab denied the people of Israel access to pass through the King’s highway on their way to Canaan, the Promised Land (Numbers 20:14-17). Recall that Moabites who are descendants of Esau, are close relatives of the people of Israel, the descendants of his twin brother, Jacob (Genesis 36:6-8).
Read Numbers 20:18-21 and find out the three requests Israel made to the King of Edom. He finally mobilized his army against Israel that made them use another route instead. When confronted with stiff opposition from kindred and brethren, we should rely on God and His wisdom to lead us through than engaging in unnecessary fights and quarrels.
Do you notice that in Numbers 20:23-29, God fulfilled His Word that Aaron shall not enter the Promised Land because of his disobedience? Aaron was de-robed, replaced as High Priest and died on Mount Hor. He was given a decent burial in Numbers 20:29. Aaron’s lesson shows that God is not a respecter of person. Note from Numbers 20:20-22, though Israel had defeated mightier nations, she avoided confrontation with Edom, see reason in Numbers 20:14.
And So:
We should depend on God and allow Him to lead us through this life so that we can make heaven.
