Numbers 15:37-41

The Message

^37-41 God spoke to Moses: "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them that from now on they are to make tassels on the corners of their garments and to mark each corner tassel with a blue thread. When you look at these tassels you'll remember and keep all the commandments of God, and not get distracted by everything you feel or see that seduces you into infidelities. The tassels will signal remembrance and observance of all my commandments, to live a holy life to God. I am your God who rescued you from the land of Egypt to be your personal God. Yes, I am God, your God."

For Reflection
Do you wear a fraternity pin or one from the Rotary?  Do you wear a class ring or a wedding band?  Do you carry or wear a cross?  What symbol do you wear that reminds you of the your Christian beliefs?  The symbol that you wear is much like the tassels.  It is not only a reminder to you but also a notice to all that you are a Christian and hold strongly to principal and practice of righteous living.

God is the beginning of all wisdom.  Wearing a Christian symbol that your relationship with God is one of reverence, awe and piety, will remind you of the Godly wisdom you possess and will help you stay on the path of righteous living.

Pray
that you will carry your fear of God into all aspects of your life.  Pray for the wisdom that a disciplined relationship with God will bring.  Pray that your deepening understanding of scripture in the light of Christ's life and teaching will lead you into righteous living.  Pray that God will help you make good choices.
