Kingdom Foreshadowed Part 13 Devotionals
Day 1: Seeking God’s Wisdom
Devotional In Numbers 9, we see Moses seeking God’s guidance when faced with uncertainties. This teaches us the importance of turning to God for wisdom in our own lives. Often, we try to navigate life’s challenges on our own, but God invites us to seek His wisdom and direction. When we press into God, we find clarity and peace, knowing that His way is always better. Remember, God’s heart has always been to dwell with His people and guide them. Let’s make it a habit to seek His wisdom daily.
Bible Verse The Lord said to Moses, ‘Make two trumpets of hammered silver, and use them for calling the community together and for having the camps set out.’ – Numbers 9:1
Reflection Question In what areas of your life do you need to seek God’s wisdom and guidance today?
Quote We have to seek wisdom for life from God. We have to press in, we have to connect with him in order to know how to live.
Prayer Lord, help me to seek Your wisdom in every area of my life. Guide my steps and give me clarity in my decisions. Thank You for always being with me and for Your desire to dwell with Your people. Amen.
Day 2: Remembering God’s Faithfulness
Devotional The Passover, celebrated by the Israelites in the wilderness, commemorates their deliverance from Egypt. This event foreshadows Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb, whose sacrifice offers us eternal life. Just as the Israelites remembered God’s faithfulness in delivering them, we too should remember and celebrate what Jesus has done for us. His sacrifice on the cross has set us free from sin and death. Let’s take time to reflect on God’s faithfulness and express our gratitude for His incredible love and grace.
Bible Verse For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. – John 3:16
Reflection Question How can you actively remember and celebrate God’s faithfulness in your life today?
Quote And now in Jesus, we celebrate that he’s our Passover lamb. And his blood is on us, and he protects us from the angel of death, if you would. And we’ve moved on into life for him forever.
Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for Your faithfulness and for the sacrifice of Jesus, our Passover Lamb. Help me to always remember and celebrate Your love and grace. May my life be a reflection of gratitude for all that You have done. Amen.
Day 3: Living by Faith
Devotional In Numbers 21, the story of the bronze serpent highlights the necessity of faith. The Israelites were healed by looking at the bronze serpent, just as we are saved by looking to Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Faith is essential in our walk with God. It requires us to trust in His promises and rely on His strength. When we face challenges, we can have confidence and hope, knowing that our faith in Jesus brings healing and salvation. Let’s choose to live by faith, trusting in God’s goodness and His plan for our lives.
Bible Verse The Lord said to Moses, ‘Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.’ – Numbers 21:8
Reflection Question What steps can you take to strengthen your faith and trust in God’s promises today?
Quote Because of what Jesus has done at the cross and in the resurrection, we can experience again God’s presence. We have access to God’s presence in part, not like it will be, but certainly amazing that holy spirit, right. Dwells in us.
Prayer Lord, help me to live by faith and trust in Your promises. Strengthen my faith and give me the courage to rely on Your strength in every situation. Thank You for the healing and salvation that comes through Jesus’ sacrifice. Amen.
Day 4: God’s Way is Life
Devotional There is God’s way and there is not God’s way. God’s way is the tree of life, and the other tree is the knowledge of good and evil, which represents defining good and evil for ourselves. Often, we don’t like to wait and move in our own direction instead of pressing in and listening for God. But God’s way is always better. His way leads to life. Let’s commit to seeking God’s way in all things, trusting that His path leads to true life and fulfillment.
Bible Verse The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. – Numbers 6:24-26
Reflection Question In what areas of your life are you tempted to define good and evil for yourself instead of seeking God’s way?
Quote There’s God’s way and there’s not God’s way. And God’s way is the tree of life. And the other tree is the knowledge of good and evil, which is easier to think of, is defining good and evil for ourselves.
Prayer Father, help me to seek Your way in all things. Give me the patience to wait on You and the wisdom to follow Your path. Thank You for leading me to true life and fulfillment. Amen.
Day 5: Pressing into God for Life
Devotional One of the biggest things we need to figure out is that we have to press into God for life and not settle for just trying to figure out all the rules and regulations. Jesus has fulfilled the rituals, the holy days, the priesthood, and the purity laws. We now have amazing access to God through Jesus. Let’s not forget how incredible this access is and what it took to get there. Pressing into God means seeking a deeper relationship with Him and relying on His guidance and strength in every aspect of our lives.
Bible Verse The Lord said to Moses, ‘The Israelites are to celebrate the Passover at its appointed time.’ – Leviticus 23:4
Reflection Question How can you press into God and seek a deeper relationship with Him today?
Quote One of the biggest things that we’re to figure out is that we have to press into God for life and not settle for just trying to figure out all the rules and regulations.
Prayer Lord, help me to press into You for life. Thank You for the incredible access I have to You through Jesus. Guide me and strengthen me as I seek a deeper relationship with You. Amen.
