In the book of Numbers, God demonstrates himself as a pillar of fire and a pillar of smoke, faithfully leading his often rebellious people through the wilderness. Although the faithless wilderness generation was barred from entering the promised land, God was raising up a generation to lead the people from their wandering into the conquest of the land of Canaan.

Biblical Leadership, the Example of Joshua

At the beginning of the COViD-19 crisis, a song went around the world, taken up in all languages and interpreted by artists united in declaring one thing: God's blessing. This prayer dates back to the time of Moses and Aaron, but they were not the authors. It was God himself who commanded them to bless his people! Let us discover together the God of blessing.


Unleash the Blessing

GLEANINGS is a one-year devotional through the Bible. A title like Numbers may sound about as exciting as “Dictionary” or “Phone Book,” but get ready for a surprise. This book is loaded with powerful stories. It graphically shows what happens when people sin, but it also holds hope for those who desire God’s mercy and want to experience his faithfulness.

GLEANINGS - Numbers

The book of Numbers, as the Hebrew name suggests, is the Israelites’ travelogue in the wilderness, from Mount Sinai to the plains of Moab, right before entering the Promised Land. Because of the Israelites’ disobedience, the 11-day journey turned to 40 years! But rest assured, God always restore His people to the place of blessings as soon as we return to Him. Come journey through Numbers with us.

Have you ever wondered  if the dreams that you have for your life mirror God's desires for your life?  How do you know?

The Craving And The Cure: How To Align Your Dreams To God's Desires

“May God make his face shine on you” is not sentimental cliché. It’s a powerful statement of the intimate relationship God wants people to experience in his presence. The blessing authored by God himself was audacious in the historical context in which it was given and it encapsulates a shocking (and wonderful) future hope of relating to God face-to-face. It calls us to reflect his shine into the world. 

Unveiling God's Shine
