Numbers 1-4, Psalm 40
Numbers 1:1-4 (NLT)
“A year after Israel’s departure from Egypt, the Lord spoke to Moses in the Tabernacle in the wilderness of Sinai. On the first day of the second month of that year he said, ‘From the whole community of Israel, record the names of all the warriors by their clans and families. List all the men twenty years old or older who are able to go to war. You and Aaron must register the troops, and you will be assisted by one family leader from each tribe.’”
In Numbers 1:1–4, the Lord instructs Moses to take a census of the people. Father-God wanted to identify who was able to fight for Israel as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. One Bible commentary noted that the census served both practical and spiritual purposes, allowing the Lord to organize the people for military and religious responsibilities.
I used to skim the first chapters of Numbers because they seemed to be only a listing of the tribes and their numbers. But now I see them as a window into how the Lord thinks. Father-God values every single member of His family. The Lord did not merely want a headcount; He wanted to know who was ready to serve. Father-God values organization, and He values every person because each has a role in His plan. The census also reflects the Lord’s emphasis on preparation and readiness. By counting the fighting-aged men, the people were reminded that entering the Promised Land would require both faith and action.
These verses remind me that if I want to reflect the character of the Lord, I should value organization and preparation. Father-God takes inventory of the resources available to fulfill His purposes. As believers, we need an honest understanding of our strengths and weaknesses when carrying out the tasks the Lord gives us. Most importantly, these verses remind me that every person matters to the Lord. We each have a role in Father-God’s plan for the earth. I can serve Him faithfully when I focus on His calling for my life and remain prepared and organized.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who values you and equips you to fulfill His purpose for your life—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
Heavenly Father, I give You my life. Please forgive me for all my sins and wash me clean through the blood of Jesus. I believe in my heart that You raised Jesus from the dead, and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I receive Your forgiveness and the gift of salvation. Thank You, Lord—I am saved, I am forgiven, I am clean, and I am made new in Jesus’ name. Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of Father-God! I encourage you to find and join a Holy Spirit–filled, full-Gospel, Bible-based church where you can grow in your faith and experience the Lord’s love, signs, wonders, and miracles in your life.

Day 39 Bible Readings - Leviticus 26:44-45 (NLT)
Leviticus 26-27, Psalm 39
Leviticus 26:44-45 (NLT)
“But despite all this, I will not utterly reject or despise them while they are in exile in the land of their enemies. I will not cancel my covenant with them by wiping them out, for I am the Lord their God. For their sakes I will remember my ancient covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of all the nations, that I might be their God. I am the Lord.”
In Leviticus 26:44–45, the Lord tells Moses that the covenant relationship He has with His people is unbreakable. Father-God promises that He will remain faithful to His covenant even when His people are repeatedly unfaithful and disobedient. The Lord does not desire to destroy His people. Instead, Father-God desires restoration and uses discipline as a tool for correction. The Lord’s nature is steadfast, and we can trust in His faithfulness and reliability.
These verses remind me that even when I have strayed from the Lord, the Holy Spirit has always promised restoration if I was repentant and returned to Father-God. Over the years, the Lord’s mercy toward me has revealed His nature and what it truly means to live in a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ. There were moments when I was absolutely convinced that Father-God had forsaken me. Yet through a steady inner prompting, the Holy Spirit impressed upon me that the Lord was patiently waiting for me to turn back to Him.
When I finally did, I understood how the prodigal son must have felt when his father celebrated his return. The Lord welcomed me back with open arms, and now I feel His love present in my life every day.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who always desires restoration with you—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 38 Bible Readings - Leviticus 25:35-36 (NLT)
Leviticus 24-25, Psalm 38
Leviticus 25:35-36 (NLT)
“If one of your fellow Israelites falls into poverty and cannot support himself, support him as you would a foreigner or a temporary resident and allow him to live with you. Do not charge interest or make a profit at his expense. Instead, show your fear of God by letting him live with you as your relative.”
In Leviticus 25:35–36, the Lord instructs Moses on how to care for those in need, reflecting Father-God’s concern for justice and compassion. The Lord commands His people to support those who cannot provide for themselves so they may continue living within the community. Father-God also emphasizes that they must not charge interest or seek profit from someone who is needy. In Old Testament times, charging interest was a common practice—even when it placed an unbearable burden on the poor.
These verses remind me that our actions must reflect the Lord’s character of mercy, kindness, and provision. Father-God was not calling His people to offer only temporary relief, but to provide support that would allow the needy to remain part of the community. These verses also teach me that reverence for the Lord should shape our decision-making. How we treat others must always reflect our respect for Father-God’s authority and character.
One Bible commentary I read explained that the goal of supporting those who cannot support themselves is restoration, not mere relief. I love this interpretation because it honors the dignity of the person in need. Helping to restore someone who is struggling acknowledges that Father-God created them with purpose and value. The Lord does not desire His children to remain trapped in poverty, but to be restored so they can fulfill His plan for their lives.
This passage also reminds me of the times I struggled financially and of the people who helped me get back on my feet—not simply through handouts, but by helping me find work and learn better money management. Their kindness restored me, enabling me to move forward and fulfill the Lord’s plan for my life.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who desires restoration for all His children—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.

Day 37 Bible Readings for February 8 - Psalm 37:23-24 (NLT)
Leviticus 21-23, Psalm 37
Psalm 37:23-24 (NLT)
“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand.”
In Psalm 37:23–24, David writes about the Lord’s guidance and support for those who believe in Him and live righteously. Father-God actively directs the steps of His followers through the Holy Spirit. David tells us that the Lord takes pleasure in the details of His children’s lives. However, David does not deny that believers will stumble or fail at times. Instead, he reminds us that Father-God will support us because we have a personal relationship with Him. The Lord promises to hold our hand, providing encouragement and hope, and to uphold His children through life’s difficulties.
What stood out to me most today is David’s acknowledgment that faith in the Lord does not guarantee an absence of failure or moments of weakness. There are times when I have mistakenly thought that my faith in Father-God and my attentiveness to the Holy Spirit should somehow make me immune to sin or unwanted thoughts. But I know that is not true.
Even though I do not enjoy being the focus of attention, my ego still craves affirmation in subtle ways. When I see others receiving attention, my perspective can shift. In those moments, self-pity can creep in, and I start to believe that something must be wrong with me. But the Holy Spirit reminds me that the Lord loves me and cares for me deeply. Recently, Father-God allowed me to experience a long-held dream of volunteering at a crusade. Even when I stumble, the Lord holds my hand and reminds me that He is directing the steps of my life.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who holds your hand through life’s difficulties—this may be your moment. Open your heart to Him. Speak to Him in prayer, expressing your trust, your desire to walk with Him, and your willingness to welcome His presence into your life. God is faithful and ready to meet you exactly where you are.
