Centred on the Word of the Lord

Numbers 2:1-34
'The Lord said to Moses': These words appear more than eighty times in Numbers. Let your life be centred on the Word of the Lord - Listen, Read, Study, Memorize, Meditate! God's people were 'facing the tent of meeting on every side' (2). There were to be no gaps in the ranks. We are not to pull in different directions. We are to pull together. Everyone has their place. All who are willing to serve the Lord will find a place in His service. Let us be united in worship and witness. Without this spirit of co-operation, the work of the Lord will fail. Each of us needs to be 'in position' (17) - on the Lord's Day for worship and on other occasions, when we are called upon to 'serve the Lord with gladness' (Psalm 100:2). Let our 'standard' (17,31) be the Lord - not the world: We are God's people!
