The Right Way To Obey God. Part [7] 01/10/2025 (Morning thought)

Numbers 14:32 But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness. 33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcasses be wasted in the wilderness. 34 After the number of the days in which you searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall you bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you shall know my breach of promise.

The problem with the scientific approach to obeying God is that when finite sciences, and the Scriptures collide as they often do, the persons in question will take a step back, and will often stumble if things do not add up. Thus, we must declare unequivocally, that this is not the type of obedience, or belief system that God is looking for. For instance, there has not been found any material evidence that the children of Israel had wandered forty years in the wilderness, as the Bible clearly states.

There have been no residues, remnants, or vestiges of their pilgrimage found along the way, and for this reason, the scientific approach could stumble over the Biblical account. Here it is again as the scientific approach, waits for lab tests and results, before believing, and obeying. All the while, serious collateral damage is occurring, in the human family as persons await confirmation from science. In the Bible, God does not always give us many fine details of what adverse events would take place, nor does He always say exactly how they would unfold if we were to ignore His revealed will.

Leviticus 11:4 Nevertheless these shall you not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 5 And the coney, because he chews the cud, but divides not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7 And the swine, though he divides the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he chews not the cud; he is unclean to you.

Leviticus 11:8 Of their flesh shall you not eat, and their carcasses shall you not touch; they are unclean to you. 10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Right Way To Obey God. Part [6] 01/10/2025 (Evening thought)

Numbers 13:26 And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel… and brought back word unto them…..and shewed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him, and said, we came unto the land whither thou sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

If the Christian were to wait for scientific data to be revealed, before obeying God, there will come times when the science behind His commands becomes so farfetched that the person in question will recoil in fear, because our knowledge of science is greatly inferior on every level, to the knowledge that is to be found in God. When Jesus commanded Peter to walk on the water there is no known science that we know of that will support such a command.

Therefore, to the many Peters out there, the right way to obey God is to obey first and ask your questions later, that is, if you have any questions. In the word of God, the benefits of fruit, nuts, and grain becomes evident, even though God again does not spell out in any detail, why the giants who were living in Canaan were so huge. But, if persons were to examine the record closely, we will find evidence that is linked to what they were eating.

Numbers 13:17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain: 18 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwell therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many; 22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. 23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

Numbers 13:28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great.  and moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
