Day 79 Through The Bible
Day 79: Taking Seriously What God Takes Seriously
Absolute Truth from God’s Word
Numbers 17:13 – "Whosoever cometh anything near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?"
Take the time to read Numbers 17 today. This chapter abundantly clarifies that God does not take His house lightly. Those He has entrusted with it are called to a high standard and those who murmur and rebel against His order face judgment.
The final verse of the chapter asks a sobering question: “Shall we be consumed with dying?” This is a call to reflect—how many must face consequences before we take what God takes seriously? God’s presence, His appointed leadership, and His place of worship demand our reverence.
Practical Application: Do You Take God Seriously?
It’s easy to acknowledge that God’s Word is important, but do we live as if it truly is?
Do we respect the things God has set apart as holy?
Do we murmur or question His authority in our lives?
Do we take the house of God, His Word, and His commands seriously?
Let today be a turning point. Instead of questioning or murmuring, let’s align our hearts with God’s values and honor what He deems sacred.
Take time today to get serious about what God takes seriously.
