Numbers 8:7-11
…and said to the entire Israelite assembly, "The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the LORD is pleased with us,[then is implied] he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them." But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites. The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them?
Here I am again trying not to worry about not getting an interview at xxx. Osmel has asked me everyday if I have head anything and I don’t want to tell him about xxxxx getting an interview. My passage once again is about not complaining. TRUST! That is the message. The Children of Israel were fearful and untrusting despite the way the Lord had provided for them and had given them shelter. They complained and grumbled and now they were wanting to stone those that were trying to encourage them to believe in what God could do, would do, and had promised to do.
The message of encouragement was to not be afraid but trust. Those words are ringing in my ear unlike the phone call that I am hoping for. School starts on Monday and I had really hoped for something so I could start on the first day of school. I had hoped for a classroom that was opening before the kids started. I HATE taking someone else’s class. Oh God… help me to be strong and trust in YOU.
Lord, I give this to You and I ask that You work it out. As You know, my desire is to have a full time position. My desire is to be in the classroom. My desire is that You would give me a job before the school year starts, but I give it all to You and ask that You would work it out in the way that is best for me. Help me Lord to trust You. To trust that You have my best interest in mind, and that You really know what is best for me.
