I've been reading through the book of Numbers lately within the Old Testament Text, and what I continue to come back to, in the text, is a theme of obedient submission to what God would ask for me to do. I'm not necessarily saying that there is something that I am not acting in obedience to; rather, I'm just blown away by how difficult it seemed to be for the Israelites to submit to God's plan for their life in the text.
The journey of reading through the text as I'm doing now has been a lot of fun for me. Personally, I had spent years combing through the text, reading it through the perspective of a commentary bible. While that was very much informative, I felt as if the journey of understanding through the text was taken away.
I've needed to be on journey in the text. Simply stepping away from man's commentary and just immersing myself into the text has been so much fun. I'm thankful for where God has me in this process right now....
