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.
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.
S. Brenda Elfgirl - I was told I am an elf in a parallel life, and I live in the Arizona desert exploring what this means. I've had this blog for a while and I write about the things that interest me. My spiritual teacher told me that my journey in life is about balancing "the perfect oneness of a sweetness heart and the effulgent soul". My inner and outer lives are like parallel lines that will one day meet, but only when there is a new way of thinking. Read on as I try to find the balance.
Thank you for viewing / reading my blog posts! I appreciate it!

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. 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.

Day 47 Bible Readings for February 18 – Numbers 22:34-35 (NLT)
Numbers 22-24, Psalm 47
Numbers 22:34-35 (NLT)
“Then Balaam confessed to the angel of the Lord, ‘I have sinned. I didn’t realize you were standing in the road to block my way. I will return home if you are against my going.’ But the angel of the Lord told Balaam, ‘Go with these men, but say only what I tell you to say.’ So Balaam went on with Balak’s officials.”
In Numbers 22:34–35, we read how the Lord can use even reluctant or misguided individuals to accomplish His purposes. Balaam had been hired by King Balak of Moab to curse the Israelites. On his journey, the angel of the Lord confronted him, and Balaam admitted that he did not realize the Lord was standing in the road to oppose him. Balaam offered to return home if the Lord was against his mission. However, the angel instructed him to continue, but to speak only the words that Father-God gave him.
These verses remind me that the Lord actively guides and corrects those who hear His voice. Father-God intervened to redirect Balaam so that he would speak only what the Lord commanded. Although Balaam had been willing to curse Israel, the Lord used him instead to pronounce blessing. This passage demonstrates that Father-God is sovereign over events and can use even imperfect people to accomplish His plans.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One who is sovereign over all circumstances—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 46 Bible Readings - Numbers 20:12-13 (NLT)
Numbers 19-21, Psalm 46
Numbers 20:12-13 (NLT)
“But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ‘Because you did not trust me enough to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel, you will not lead them into the land I am giving them!’ This place was known as the waters of Meribah (which means ‘arguing’) because there the people of Israel argued with the Lord, and there he demonstrated his holiness among them.”
In Numbers 20:12–13, we read about the Lord rebuking and correcting Moses. Father-God had instructed Moses to speak to the rock to bring forth water, but instead Moses struck the rock. In doing so, Moses failed to fully trust and follow the Lord’s specific instructions. One Bible commentary noted that Moses may have taken it upon himself to correct the people rather than allowing Father-God to demonstrate His holiness. The Lord’s intention was not merely to provide water but to reveal His character to the people. Because of this act of disobedience and mistrust, the Lord told Moses and Aaron that they would not lead the people into the Promised Land.
These verses remind me that I need to fully trust the Lord’s instructions as He guides me through the Holy Spirit. I am not called to take matters into my own hands or to second-guess what the Lord wants to accomplish. Another commentary pointed out that Moses’ reaction risked portraying Father-God as harsh or temperamental, rather than holy and faithful.
I can relate to Moses’ impulse to correct and scold the people for their unbelief. There are times when I feel the urge to confront my friends about their doubts. Yet the Holy Spirit gently reminds me that it is not always my place to correct others unless they invite that guidance. I must trust that the Lord is working in each person’s life in ways I cannot fully see. My role is to reflect His holiness and patience, not to force change in others.
If these verses resonate with you—if you feel drawn to place your faith in Jesus Christ, the One we can fully trust with our lives—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.
