Numbers 33-34, Psalm 51
Psalm 51:12-13 (NLT)
“Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you. Then I will teach your ways to rebels, and they will return to you.”
In Psalm 51:12–13, we read about David’s repentance after his sin with Bathsheba. David mourned the joy he had lost because of his sin and asked the Lord to restore that joy. He pleaded with Father-God to create in him a willing spirit—to remove the stubbornness and rebellion that had led him astray. David then promised that if the Lord restored him, he would teach others the Lord’s ways and lead sinners back to repentance.
In a Bible commentary I read about Psalm 51, it mentioned that Sir Thomas More and Lady Jane Grey recited this psalm before their execution. That detail struck me. When I read Psalm 51, I feel the depth of David’s sorrow and the sincerity of his repentance. These verses remind me that when I am in right relationship with the Lord, I experience true joy and peace. My life functions more clearly because I receive daily guidance from the Holy Spirit.
These verses also teach me that restoration is not only personal—it has purpose. When Father-God restores us, He equips us to share our faith and help lead others back to Him. A renewed relationship with the Lord does not end in private relief; it overflows into witness.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who restores your relationship with Father-God—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. 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 50 Bible Readings for February 21- Numbers 32:16-17 (NLT)
Numbers 31-32, Psalm 50
Numbers 32:16-17 (NLT)
“But they approached Moses and said, ‘We simply want to build pens for our livestock and fortified towns for our wives and children. Then we will arm ourselves and lead our fellow Israelites into battle until we have brought them safely to their land. Meanwhile, our families will stay in the fortified towns we build here, so they will be safe from any attacks by the local people.’”
In Numbers 32:16–17, the tribes of Reuben and Gad approached Moses regarding their request to settle east of the Jordan. While they wanted to secure land for their families and livestock, they also pledged to help the rest of Israel conquer the Promised Land before returning to their own territory. After Moses challenged their intentions, they reaffirmed their commitment to the community and to the Lord’s larger purpose.
These verses remind me that I must prioritize honoring the Lord’s promises over my immediate comfort or security. The leaders of Reuben and Gad demonstrated the importance of seeking wise counsel when making significant life decisions. Though they desired stability for their families, they were willing to delay personal security in order to fulfill their shared responsibility.
I relate to this tension. When the Holy Spirit guided me to focus on my writing, it was difficult to obey because I had a well-paying job that felt secure. Like the tribes of Reuben and Gad, I had to trust in the Lord’s provision even when I could not see how everything would unfold. Yet the Holy Spirit proved faithful. I have been able to devote time to writing while still receiving income from other sources. Looking back, I see that obedience required trust before clarity.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One whose promises of provision are always faithful—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.

Day 49 Bible Readings for February 20 - Psalm 49:16-17 (NLT)
Numbers 28-30, Psalm 49
Psalm 49:16-17 (NLT)
“So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich and their homes become ever more splendid. For when they die, they take nothing with them.”
In Psalm 49:16–17, the psalmist reminds us that wealth is not permanent. We are told not to fear when others become rich or when prosperity increases, because no one takes material wealth with them at death. True security cannot be found in possessions but in the Lord.
These verses remind me that my security must rest in my covenant relationship with Father-God rather than in material wealth. At the same time, I do not need to fear wealth itself. If the Lord entrusts me with financial resources, I can rely on the Holy Spirit to guide me in stewarding them wisely.
For a long time, I carried a quiet fear of having money because of what I absorbed from society—that wealth corrupts or leads people astray. But I now realize that fear came from a lack of trust. I was unsure whether I would handle wealth responsibly. With my relationship with the Holy Spirit, however, I know I can seek guidance in how to manage resources faithfully. Wealth, when surrendered to the Lord, becomes a tool to serve His purposes—caring for the poor, supporting ministry, and helping those in need.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who gives true security and guides us in every area of 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.

Day 48 Bible Readings for February 19 - Numbers 27:15-17 (NLT)
Numbers 25-27, Psalm 48
Numbers 27:15-17 (NLT)
“Then Moses said to the Lord, ‘O Lord, you are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Please appoint a new man as leader for the community. Give them someone who will guide them wherever they go and will lead them into battle, so the community of the Lord will not be like sheep without a shepherd.’”
In Numbers 27:15–17, Moses prays to the Lord to appoint a new leader for the people. In these verses, Moses demonstrates the importance of seeking Father-God’s direction in every decision, especially in matters of leadership and guidance. His appeal to the Lord highlights the central role of prayer when facing major transitions. Moses asks that the new leader be someone who will go before the people and come back in, so that they will not be like sheep without a shepherd.
These verses remind believers to seek leaders who are guided by Father-God—leaders who take on the role of a shepherd to lead, protect, and care for the flock. They also challenge those in positions of leadership to embody shepherd-like qualities when guiding their families, churches, or communities.
This passage also reveals Moses’ faithfulness. Although the Lord showed him the Promised Land, Moses was told he would not enter it because of his earlier disobedience in the wilderness of Zin. Yet Moses did not argue or complain. Instead, he focused on the well-being of the people rather than his own disappointment. His concern was for their future, not his personal loss.
I pray that if I am ever placed in a leadership role, I will follow Moses’ example—seeking the Lord’s direction through prayer and depending on His wisdom rather than my own understanding.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who guides us faithfully through every transition in 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.
