Numbers

The Book of Numbers

Numbers is a sobering account of how God’s people repeatedly rejected His presence, turning blessing into rebellion. What begins with hope—a camp organized around God’s glory—unravels into grumbling, doubt, and outright defiance. Yet even as Israel resists His leading, God remains faithful, calling them forward with both judgment and mercy. Numbers challenges us to examine our own hearts: Will we reject God’s presence through fear and discontent, or will we trust that His presence is our greatest blessing and the only way home?
