Today’s Bible Verse:
"At the Lord’s command they encamped, and at the Lord’s command they set out. They obeyed the Lord’s order, in accordance with his command through Moses." — Numbers 9:23
The Israelites’ journey through the wilderness was marked by one simple rhythm: they moved when God moved. Numbers 9:23 captures a powerful truth about trust and obedience — that our security doesn’t come from knowing what’s next, but from knowing Who’s leading. When we align our steps with God’s timing, we discover the peace and purpose that come from following His direction rather than our own impulses.
