At the beach

In Numbers chapter nine some people come with a query to Moses, and straight away Moses goes to the Lord to get the answer for them. He says, “‘Wait until I find out what the LORD commands concerning you.'” I notice the word ‘commands’. You find that in Numbers 9:8

Numbers chapter nine deals with the celebration of the Passover. It had to be celebrated at a certain time.

But some people could not celebrate the Passover at the appointed time. Why? Because of a dead body they were ceremonially unclean. They wondered why they should be excluded from celebrating the Passover with the others at the specified time. To get an answer they went to Moses.

What are we doing, when people come with problems to us?

When people come with a problem to us, the best way to deal with the situation is to tell them to go to the Lord straight away alone and tell the Lord about what bothers them, or if they prefer, to kneel down with us straight away. Then we can tell the Lord about the problem together.
