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. [Numbers 1.1-4]
From slaves to warriors. From old enough to work to old enough to go to war.
What changed in that first year in the wilderness? Israel left Egypt as slaves and now they are being counted as warriors. Something changed.
God does not just set people free - He empowers them.
That's all I'm going to say because it is worth meditating on long and hard...
Father, I believe it is a revelation that You don't just set people free,, but that You empower them as well...
