[Today: Numbers 33] Surviving Between Moves of God. In this chapter, Moses recites the wilderness journeying of the children of Israel. These are called the "stations of the wilderness." From Ramses to the plains of Moab, the Lord led the children of Israel for forty years by the pillar of fire by night and the cloud by day. One would think this would be a holy and blessed time. Often, however, when they waited for the next transition, rebellion would break out, and suffering would result. While you are waiting for the next chapter of God's leading in your life, you must know how to posture yourself before God so that even though you may be in a wilderness experience, you still survive and thrive and make it to your own personal Canaan.
