So Moses went out to the people and told them what the LORD had said. He gathered seventy of the elders together and had them stand around the Tent. Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to Moses. The LORD took some of the Spirit Moses had, and he gave it to the seventy leaders. With the Spirit in them, they prophesied, but just that one time. Two men named Eldad and Medad were also listed as leaders, but they did not go to the Tent. They stayed in the camp, but the Spirit was also given to them, and they prophesied in the camp. A young man ran to Moses and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” Joshua son of Nun said, “Moses, my master, stop them!” (Ever since he was a young boy, Joshua had been Moses’ assistant.) But Moses answered, “Are you jealous for me? I wish all the LORD’s people could prophesy. I wish the LORD would give his Spirit to all of them!” Then Moses and the leaders of Israel went back to the camp. The LORD sent a strong wind from the sea, and it blew quail into the area all around the camp. The quail were about three feet deep on the ground, and there were quail a day’s walk in any direction. The people went out and gathered quail all that day, that night, and the next day. Everyone gathered at least sixty bushels, and they spread them around the camp. But the LORD became very angry, and he gave the people a terrible sickness that came while the meat was still in their mouths. So the people named that place Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried those who wanted other food. From Kibroth Hattaavah the people went to stay at Hazeroth.

God promises to speak to us but what does he sound like . . . ? This 7-day video devotional will show you how to hear God’s voice for yourself. Presented by Revd Dr Tania Harris, director of God Conversations, www.godconversations.com.
The Bible begins with, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty.” But clearly, that was not a problem for God. He merely spoke and the emptiness was filled with life, beauty, and purpose. This gives us hope that God will do his best work in the emptiness of our own lives. Let’s pray and ask him to fill up our emptiness.
