I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Numbers 27. “Moses said to the Lord, ‘May the Lord, the God who gives breath to all living things, appoint someone over this community to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the Lord’s people will not be like sheep without a shepherd’” (Verses 15-17). In the proceeding verses God tells Moses that because of his disobedience in the Desert of Zin, he would not be allowed to enter the promise land (God told him to speak to the rock, but instead he stroke the rock). However, God was gracious enough to let Moses gaze upon the promise land before he died. But what I really wanted to draw our attention to is Moses’ response. He doesn’t complain. He doesn’t say, “but Lord…” He accepts and then makes this request, “Lord provide them a leader.” Wow! I am blown away. Moses went from being the hotheaded kid who killed an Egyptian, to being a man after God’s heart. A true shepherd that puts his sheep first. I am blessed by his transformation, because it means that as I continue my walk with God, I too, shall have a heart that matches His.  Uhmmm, the same is true for you too, 😀 .
