DAY 65 Read Numbers 33 and 34.
Today's reading gives a stage-by-stage account of the Israelite campsites during their wanderings. Unfortunately, most of the locations cannot now be identified.
Memory gem: "We, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness" (2 Peter 3:13).
Thought for today:
As we go on our pilgrimage in this earth just as God's children of old, we know that someday it will belong to His people. Someday they will enjoy it; someday it will be purified and redeemed; someday it will be restored to its Edenic beauty. We are told in plain words of Scripture that this earth, renewed by the hand of God, will be pure and holy. We are told that He Himself will be their God. We also read that "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4).
This is something to look forward to, isn't it? This is the end of our pilgrimage, the land where dreams come true. And the Holy City, the New Jerusalem which comes down from God out of heaven, will be the capital of the redeemed world--the real, actual, deathless, sinless, immortal world!
Friend, soon the present weary land will be past, our desert wanderings will be over, and all the pilgrims of earth will be home, safe at last.
