Text: Numbers 10:1-10 (KJV)
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
3 And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
4 And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
6 When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
9 And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10 Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.
KEY VERSE: Numbers 10:9
“And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.”

DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
There was a story about a Scottish Highlands widow whose only son sends a monthly letter. The old lady was bitter that her son in Australia did not care about her. One day, a visitor asked what her son had done for her. She replied, “He writes to me regularly, once a month, but only sends me a little picture with his letter.” That “little picture” was actually her monthly upkeep money, but her ignorance of the worth of the currency left her wallowing in poverty.
Equally, in our text, God made provisions for Israel, His chosen people that looked simple but had the potency to command His mighty intervention on their behalf. The Lord instructed them to make two silver trumpets that would be used for special occasions – to order their movement, to assemble the congregation, to encourage their armies in battle and on festive moments. These trumpets were to be handled only by the two priests (the sons of Aaron). However, the nation’s history showed that they often abandoned God’s provision and chased vanity until their enemies defeated them. But whenever they moved at God’s command, victory and success came their way.
Believers are privileged to have guiding and shielding instruments such as God’s word, the name of Jesus, His atoning blood and prayer, which, when utilised, open the door to great possibilities. The challenge is not whether there is enough to go around everyone but if His children will tap these resources in their hour of need.
To see God manifest His power on our behalf, we must obey His word, remain in faith, pray fervently and continue to sound the alarm of the gospel message to the unconverted. If we do these, no power will stand against us.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Move at God’s pace and get to the right destination at the right time.
