The Book of Numbers: A Conclusion

As I read this book, I realized that there are so many rules and so many laws that the Lord lays down for the people of Israel. And there are so many names. There are so many records and that is why it is called, "Numbers." I used to get bored (and still this time around) when I read the book of Number. It is not always the easiest book to read as the book is record after record. However, looking through the life of people and understanding the importance of things like offerings, names, clans, and life in general of the people of Israel, it should have an effect on the way that I follow the Lord myself. And it also gives an insight into the Lord and who He is. Every piece that is in the Bible is a glimpse into the God that we serve as a body of Christ. It is a glimpse of who God is and a part of his character. So the truth is that every time that we read the Bible, we should be looking into it to find a little bit more about our God, our Father. This is a reminder the next time that we say that something that we read in the Bible is boring. This is a reminder to me as I read the Bible myself. I need to remember that every part of the Bible has reason even when it seems that there is none.
