Watch

Well, we hope you appreciate the importance of numbers a bit more. Maybe you’ve always thought accounting was just a job for people who were good at math. But accounting has turned out to be a very significant activity in the Bible. Keeping records of God’s interventions in history, and the stories of God’s people, is important. We’ll see a lot of that in the historical books. 

Perhaps you like to journal about answered prayers and so forth. Perhaps you don’t—but I hope you can appreciate the role it plays. Numbers is like a journal for the people of God. The sheer number of Hebrews heading back to Israel represents an answer to prayer—and the fulfillment of a promise made long ago to Abraham. 

What are the implications for you? How can you pay more attention to, and even record, the evidence of God’s faithfulness in your life?
