DAY 67 MARCH 8, 2010

Numbers 10:1-11:23
The trumpets blowing are mentioned here. It is apt because of all our senses must be aware for God now and then. They had to look for the cloud to see when they were moving now they had to listen for the trumpets. All of our senses belong to God. Again, the people of Israiel start complaining. They are God's chosen people, but they continue to show a huge lack of faith and appreciation for everything that the Lord has done for them. Moses himself even whines to God saying that the burden to bear is too much and he can't handle all the people's whinings. He even asks God to tell him now if this is his destiny. God tells him to gather 60 elders and He will dispurse the work among them. He also tells Moses that the Israielites will eat meat (one of their complaints) for the next month.

Mark 14:1-21
This is the passage where the leading teachers were looking for a way to arrest and kill Jesus but they knew if it was done during passover there would be huge riots to deal with. I just shows how popular and true Jesus was when He had the support of the people. These passages contain the lady who poured the expensive perfume on Jesus' head and was scolded by the disciples for wasting it when they could have given it to the poor. Jesus corrects them and raises a good point to never question what someone does in the name of our saviour. He makes and has made all the rules. Who are we to question these. This is the last suppoer when Jesus is being betrayed by Judas. How sad to know this will happen and play out the bad roles.
