God is not only as we sometimes said, better than our fears, he’s better than our hopes.

The second period of 40 years in Moses’ life had been spent in the quiet splendors of the wilderness, and his shepherd occupation had prepared him for the neatness necessary to lead the people of God.

Those who face men having the right to say to them “Thus sayeth the Lord,” have also the right to return to the Lord and state the difficulties and expose openly their own doubts and fears. Such action always brings the answer of his patience and his power.

We have to remember that the first responsibility for the diligent teaching of the children belongs to those whose children are entrusted as the most sacred embossed gifts of God.

Moses summarized the requirements of God in view of his grace. Consider with care. The people who fear God that his reverence; to walk in his ways, that is obedience; to love his, that is to worship; to serve him, that is cooperation; to keep his commandments, that is loyalty.

In the history of Caleb, three things are illustrated concerning faith: (1) Faith sees, and dares in the day of overwhelming difficulty. (2) Faith waits patiently through delays caused by failure in others. (3) Faith acts with courage in the day of opportunity.

Everything else is assured, if men love the Lord.

“We Christians have so much time to do the little things and so little time for the big things.”

Christianity began in Jerusalem as a Relationship;
From there it went to Rome and became a Religion;
In Greece it showed up as a Philosophy;
From Greece to Europe where it crystalized as a Tradition;
Finally it came to rest in America as an Enterprise. Stan Thrift
