Daily Reading<\/h2>\n

Numbers 16-17<\/a><\/p>\n

Daily Thought<\/h2>\n

Korah and his company were rebellious.\u00a0God had heard enough of their grumbling and complaining and punishment was near, so God warned Moses and Moses warned the nation of Israel, “Move back from the tents of these wicked men! Do not touch anything belonging to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins” (Numbers 16:26). No one can say God didn\u2019t warn them.<\/p>\n

Harry Truman (not the president) was in his cabin when Mt. St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980. For two months the mountain rumbled. For two months they told Harry to move. “The danger is overexaggerated,” Harry determined. It wasn’t. He died.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You may have heard it said that close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades \u201cAnd the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the people who belonged to Korah and all their goods\u201d (Numbers 16:31-32). It counts in wickedness, too. Get away! The danger is not overexaggerated. Close counts in volcanoes and it counts tragically in wickedness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Daily Prayer<\/h2>\n

Holy God, Your ways are perfect. Teach me to follow them. God may I have a heart that loves You, loves Your ways, and loves righteousness. May I have a heart that hates wickedness.<\/p>\n

God, teach me not to flirt with sin. May I be convinced of its destruction and flee from it. Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — may those things consume my thoughts and fill my desires.<\/p>\n
