Strong Tower: A daily scripture reflection.

Numbers 3:43 NLT
“The number of firstborn sons who were one month old or older was 22,273.”

The number
In today’s referenced scripture, Moses lists the firstborn sons of the Israelites who were one month old and older. Rather than providing just an estimate, Moses demonstrates his dedication by offering precise data and showing a willingness to engage deeply with the task at hand. This raises an important question: Do you approach your responsibilities with the same level of commitment, or do you sometimes fall into the trap of performing half-heartedly?

Moses’s example reminds us that effective leadership requires diligence and a strong work ethic. It is also noteworthy that Moses did not compare the number of Israelite firstborn sons who were one month or older to that of the Levites. Importantly, Moses did not use this numerical disparity to shame or criticize the Israelites. Similarly, let’s desist from unnecessary comparisons. Your current situation isn’t a forecast of tomorrow; therefore, do not despise the days of little beginnings.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, please help me to be diligent in fulfilling Your duties and not to be complacent. In Jesus’s name, Amen.
