Topic: God Has Solutions to Our Problems
Text: Numbers 11:16 – 20
To
solve the immediate problem raised by Moses, God ordered him constitute an
order of seventy elders, either by a selection from the existing staff of
elders or by the appointment of new ones, to be empowered to assist him by
their collective wisdom and experience in the onerous cares of government.
The
Jewish writers say that this was the origin of the Sanhedrin, or supreme
appellate court of their nation which also consists of 70 men. God’s promise of
coming down was not in the physical form. What the Spirit God talks about in Numbers
11:17 means the gifts and influences of the Spirit (Numbers 27:18; Joel 2:28;
John 7:39; 1 Corinthians 14:12).
God also
gave solution to the need of meat they people were cried for (Numbers 11:18 –
20). Unfortunately, God purpose to give them meat to eat until it become
loathsome to them. “What people impatiently and wickedly desire, God sometimes suffers them
to have, and to abuse to their ruin” so says Family Bible Note.
Our
God has answers and solutions to all our problems. This should strengthen our
faith in Him. What are the problems you are currently facing and thinking that
there is no way out? God has answers to them. Is it in your career, school,
business, office, etc.? God is ever willing to answer you.
The
meat will be loathsome to them because they despised the Lord who was among
them, and have wept before Him, saying, "Why did we ever come up out of
Egypt?” That was a mark of ingratitude. Do you despise God simply because you
are not happy with Him? Repent today.
Food for Thought: "For with God nothing will be impossible” – Luke 1:37
Memory verse: Jeremiah 32:27 - Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is
there anything too hard for me?
