Numbers 11:1-23
Taberah: Fire from the Lord had burned among them.
The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing. They complained no meat to eat, they never see anything but this mannal! They remembered the food they are in Egypt.
The Lord became exceeding angry and Moses was troubled.
Moses asked the Lord, Why have you brought this trouble on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me? It is heavy burden to carry these people.
The Lord answer Moses, bring seventy of Israel's elders who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people. The Spirit will put on them and Moses. They will help Moese carry the burden of the people so that he will not have to carry it alone.
The Lord reply Mosea and asks him say to the people:"Consecrate yourselves in preparation fro tomorrow, when you will eat meat. You will not eat it for just one day, or two days, but for a whole month-- until it comes out of your nostrils and you oathe it--but because you have rejected the Lord, who is among you, and have wailed before him.
Moses wondered how can provide so much meat for six hundred thousand men on foot.
Is the Lord's arm too short? You will now see whether or not what I say will come true for you.
Why?
Manna was like wafers made with honey. If only.. God gives them what they want, till they are sick of it! And with the surfeit comes judgment for the attitude which lay behind the outcry.
Does God recognize the exhaustion behind Moes' own complaint? His response is to give a supporting leadership of 70 some of the 'spirit' given to Moses. The effet of this is dramatic. Saul experiences something sililar ater his anointing.
Moses chose 70 leader who are known to him in leader and official, that Moese understand their capability.
Rabble 烏合之眾 is always existing among congreation for they lack faith to the Lord, Only work with the Lord, under the power of the Lord can pause their crave heart.
Is the Lord's arm too short? No, the Lord is mighty God who can do anything, nothing is too hard to Him.
How?
My God is all mighty God. To do the work of many people in church need some helper, a company of people with same vision can make more efficient mission. Focus on the Lord, He is my hope only.

Singals to move and blessing of the Lord
Numbers 10:1-36
The Lord asked Moses make two trumpets of hammered silver , an use them for calling the community together. Both are sound: whole community is to assemble before Moses. One is sounded, the leaders are assemble before Moses. A trumpet blast is sounded, the tribes camping on the east are to set out. Second sounding of trumpet blast the tribes camping on the south are to set out.
The sons of Aaron are to blow the trumpets.
The divisions of the camp of Judah went first, then Issachar, Zebulun, [Gershonites and Merarites have taken down tabernacle], Reuben, Simeon, Gad, [Kohathites carrying the holy things],Ephraim,Manasseh, Benjamin, Dan, Asher and Naphtalie.
Whenever the ark set out, Moses said, "Raise up, O Lord! May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you."
Whenever it came to rest, he said, "Return, O Lord! to the countless thousands of Israel."
Why?
There needs a signal to lead so numerous group to set out in desert. We need the sign from the Lord to lead church in this generation. The priest, the pastor or elder, should transfer the signal of the Lord to his people.
When the Israelite move on, Moses declare the blessing from the Lord, let people peace to set out.
A leader of church should blesses his church under the protection of the Lord.
Signal to move are cloud by day and fire by night covering the Tent at the centre of their camp marked God's presence in their midst.
Two special silver trumpets sounded the alarm, summoned the assemble, and announced the feasts and new months.
About three weeks after the census they strike camp and leave Mt Sinai, in the order described in chapter 2. Moses 'borther-in-law goes with them as guide.
How?
Under God's leading whole community are run in order with signals of cloud and fire and sounding of silver trumpets. May the signal of the Lord show me the way forward. Raise up, O Lord! May your enemies be scatter before you and leads my way keep going.

Don't compel to serve the Lord
Number 9:1-23
On the 14th day of first month a year at twilight, the Lord asked Israelite to celebrate passover at the appointed time. If someone were ceremonially unclean on account of a dead body or were away on a journey, they are to celebrate it on the 14th day of the second month at twilight.
An alien living among them who wants to celebrate the Lord's passover must do so in accordance with its rules and regulation. You must have the same regulations for the alien and the native-born.
The cloud stayed above the Tabernacle for two days or a month or a year the Israelites must remain in camp and not set out; Sometimes the cloud lifted in the morning, they set out, Whether by day or by night. They obeyed Lord's order, in accordance with his command through Moses.
Why?
Everyone has the opportunity to celebrate Passover, the redeemer provides same opportunity to everyone in the world if you like to accept this gospel.
The Lord may asks his people wait for his work two days or a month or a year, we need more patient to wait for the Lord, don't like Saul had not kept the command the Lord gave him. He felt compelled to offer the burnt offering. Don't compelled to do anything.
No one may opt out of celebrating the Passover. But the absentee and anyone ritually unclean at the time may observe the feast one month later.
1 Corinthians 5:7 describes Christ as 'our Passover lamb'.
How?
Do not give up any opportunity to preach gospel to others, for everyone has opportunity to listen God's good news.
Don't compel to serve the Lord, serve the Lord is delight service and joyful.
