At the command of the LORD
                   they encamped,
and at the command of the LORD
                    they set out.

                     Numbers 9. 23

(What my day should look like,
what obedience to God looks like,
not adherence to marching orders,
but walking with Him.
Pray, watch, live expectantly.
There is profound purpose
               in following God in it,
even in what I may never know.)

The LORD bless you
           and keep you.
The LORD make His face
     to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up
  His countenance upon you,
and give you peace.

                 Numbers 6. 24-26

(Go forth today
     in God's Presence and
with His blessing upon you.
Nothing will be the same
   because He changes
           everything about you.)

Walk about Zion,
go round about her,
number her towers,
consider well her ramparts,
go through her citadels,
that you may tell
        the next generation
that this is God,
our God for ever and ever.
He will be our guide for ever.

                       Psalm 48. 12-14

(Know everything you can about God
and don't keep it to yourself.
Your relationship with God
directly impacts
your children 
      to the farthest generation.)

Jesus said to them,
"Render to Caesar,
    the things that are Caesar's,
and to God
the things that are God's."

                           Mark 12. 17

(We have a civic duty,
but we also bear
        a sacred calling
   to be faithful to God,
to honor Him in all things.
His image is imprinted
  on who we are
         and Whose we are
and thereby seen
     in all we do.
What things are God's 
                        today?
That would be my life.)

When a man dedicates his house
        to the LORD....

                 Leviticus 27. 14

(Whose name am I writing on it?
My day,
my work, 
my relationships,
my actions,
      my reactions,
what I am struggling with,
and even my attitude toward this.
Nothing can ever be the same.
A change of direction,
      a change of heart.)

If you walk in My statutes
and observe My commandments
                   and do them,
then I will give you your rains
            in their season,
and the land 
    shall yield its increase,
and the trees of the field
    shall yield their fruit...
And I will walk among you,
and will be your God,
and you shall be My people.

               Leviticus 26. 3-4, 12

(Walking with the LORD,
listening to Him,
loving Him with all your heart,
will change the course of your life.
Guaranteed in writing.
God gives you His Word.)

...before the LORD continually...

                 Leviticus 24. 3

(My needs,
my wounds,
my love,
       my praise.
Bring it before Him,
      come before Him.
What can I do about this?
        The place to abide is before Him,
             not in the miry bog.
There is nothing too insignificant 
     nor anything too big
     for God to handle.)
