Numbers 25:9
But those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Sun, Feb. 28, DIED (Num. 25:9). Death is a must. It is something that we all human being would experience. We all can’t anticipate or prevent it not to come. It is coming. Many people have tried many ways to prevent and refuse it to come. They failed. Therefore, the focus and effort should not on how to avoid it to come, but to maximize life. How to maximize life?
a. Be careful not to initiate sin.
2 people dared to start and initiate sin of immorality among the community. They became the motor of the sinful act. They were punished by death mercilessly.
b. Be careful not to follow sin.
Notice, there were 24.000 people died on that time, 1 sin made them died. They followed other people to sin. The value of life seemed so low for them. They all died meaninglessly.
c. Be careful not to forget the impact of sin.
24.000 people died at the time. But it seemed no impression and influence over the life of The Israelites. The Israelites keep repeating the same sin. And they keep repeating experiencing the same punishment. Let’s maximize our life. ASH.
