Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
Psalms 103:13 KJV

Psalms 103
A Psalm of David.
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

Welcome back to our in-depth Bible study. We are still in the book of Numbers and are quickly working out way through. May you have eyes that see and ears that hear. May you find truth in God word and put aside the traditions of men that are so often taught in replace od scriptures.
Numbers 11:26
26 But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.
5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.
13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
That is all for today’s lesson. Thank you for reading and God bless!
The biblical account of Rachel and Leah’s marriage to Jacob, as recorded in Genesis 29-30 and 35, provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultural norms and customs of ancient Mesopotamia. The narrative revolves around the complex relationships between Jacob, Rachel, and Leah, and the births of their children.
According to the biblical account, Jacob’s marriage to Rachel and Leah is facilitated through a series of agreements with their father, Laban. Jacob served Laban for seven years in exchange for Rachel’s hand in marriage, which represents the payment of the bride-price. However, Laban deceived Jacob by substituting Leah for Rachel on the wedding night.
After Jacob confronts Laban, they come to another agreement, allowing Jacob to marry Rachel in exchange for an additional seven years of service. This arrangement highlights the economic aspect of marriage in ancient Mesopotamia, where the bride-price was a crucial element of the marriage contract.
The biblical narrative reveals that Leah bears children shortly after her marriage to Jacob, while Rachel remains barren for an extended period. This delay in Rachel’s childbearing can be understood in light of the customs and traditions surrounding ancient Mesopotamian marriage contracts.
Research by scholar Korine Garroway on ancient Mesopotamian marriage contracts sheds light on the possible reasons behind the delay in Rachel’s childbearing. According to Garroway, these contracts often stipulated that the groom pay a bride-price to the bride’s family, which could be paid in installments. However, the final installment had to be paid before the birth of the first child.
In the context of Jacob’s marriage to Rachel, the birth of Joseph after Jacob’s additional seven years of service suggests that the bride-price for Rachel was paid in full. This interpretation is supported by the biblical narrative, which indicates that God remembers Rachel and she bears her first son, Joseph, after Leah has already had seven children.
The timing of births in the biblical story of Rachel and Leah takes on significant meaning when considered in light of ancient Mesopotamian customs. The birth of Joseph after the payment of the bride-price in full underscores his legitimacy as Jacob’s heir.
This understanding highlights the importance of considering the cultural context in which the biblical narrative arose. The story of Rachel and Leah’s childbearing reflects the societal norms and expectations of ancient Mesopotamia, where the payment of a bride-price and the legitimacy of children were closely tied.
In conclusion, the biblical account of Rachel and Leah’s marriage to Jacob provides valuable insights into the customs and traditions of ancient Mesopotamia. The delay in Rachel’s childbearing can be understood in light of the payment of the bride-price, which was a crucial element of ancient Mesopotamian marriage contracts. The birth of Joseph after the payment of the bride-price in full underscores his legitimacy as Jacob’s heir, highlighting the significance of cultural context in understanding the biblical narrative.
Elisa woke up early excited for the day’s events. Yesterday Mother promised to take her to the park and her mom always sticks to her promises. She hopped out of bed bouncing down the stairs.
“Good morning Mother.”
“Good morning Elisa, are you ready to go to the park today?” Mother asked.
“You bet, as soon as I finish my breakfast. What is for breakfast today?”
“Anything you would like.”
“In that case I want jelly toast. Quick and simple to get is out the door and on the way to the park.”
Mother agreed and made her some toast with strawberry jelly smeared on top. Elisa scarfed down the food and rushed her mother out the door. She was bouncing in her seat as they arrived at the park. Elisa waited patiently for her mother, knowing she isn’t allowed to exit the car without her. After what seemed like an eternity, they left the vehicle. With a look of approval from her mother she sprints off to the giant fort style jungle gym, the biggest structure at the playground.
Elisa climbed high, feeling like she could almost touch the sky. She slid down the slides and hung on the money bars, she swung on the swings and climbed up the rock wall. On the last trip down the slide she saw a girl close to her age sitting all alone. She decided to ask the girl if she wanted to play.
“Hi, my name is Elisa. Would you like to play.”
“I really don’t feel like playing right now, my pet kitten is lost, we haven’t seen her in days.”
“Oh no, that’s awful. I am so sorry you can’t find your kitten. I know! We can pray for her safe return.”
“Pray, what does that mean?”
“It means we ask God to help us.”
“God? Who is God?”
“God is the one who made us and everything, even the world.”
“I have never heard about God.”
“Here let me show you.”
Elisa grabbed the girls hands and placed them together, with her hands on top.
“Close your eyes and open your heart.”
The girl nods in agreeance.
“Our heavenly Father, if it is your will I pray that her little kitty cat will come home safe and sound. Thank you Father, I love you and amen.”
“Do you really think it will work?” She asked with eyes full of hope.
Johnny walked by overhearing the girl’s prayers.
“God doesn’t care about your cat. He has more important things to worry about.” He said, nevermind the fact that he had never asked God for anything.
“That’s not true Johnny, God loves and cares for all the creatures, they are all God’s creation.”
Johnny scoffed at her silly notion.
With new hope that her beloved pet would return, Sarah decided to play. Before long the kitten was an afterthought and it was time for the children to return home. The girls said their goodbyes with plans to return the next day.
Sarah returnes home tired and ready for a hot meal. She drug herself out of the car and up the porch steps, her legs tired and weak. To her surprise a furry little face stood on the top step eager to greet her.
“Meow!”
Joy filled Sarah’s heart as she hugged the little kitten tight. “Thank you God. Thank you for caring about my baby kitten.”
Sarah went to bed that night praising God for the answered prayer.
The next morning she leped out of bed and scurried outside, confident her beloved pet would be there. Sure enough Misty the kitten sat at the door awaiting her breakfast. Sarah scooped her up again and thanked God once more for her little miracle. She ran inside to tell her mother about the divine intervention and how excited she was to tell Elisa today. Her mother admired her faith, something she could use some strengthening in.
At the playground Sarah joyfully tells Elisa about her answered prayer.
“You were right! God brought her back home safe and sound. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I returned home.”
“See I told you! I knew she would be there, I just KNEW it!”
Little Johnny overheard all the excitement but decided not to interject this time. That was all he needed, a couple of girls pointing out how he was wrong. Instead he ignored them and played alone.
A few weeks later and little Johnny is picked up from school early. His mother told him that his father was in a bad car accident. They went to the hospital to see him but Johnny was scared. His mother seemed really worried and was crying, his mother never cries unless something really bad happens. Like when his grandma passed away, she cried a lot thay time. In that moment a stark reality shook him to the core. Could his father be dieing? Was this morning the last time he would ever speak to him? Johnny started crying also, unsure of what to do he recalled Sarah’s lost kitten and Elisa’s prayer. If God was willing to help a lost kitten, maybe God would help his daddy too.
In the hospital waiting room he dropped to his knees and prayed like he had never before. He hoped his prayer would be just half as good as Elisa’s.
“God I’m sorry for saying you didn’t care. I’m sorry for laughing at Sara and Elise. God my daddy is really hurt right now and he needs you. Can you please give him and miracle like you have Sarah’s kitten. I know you care about God, and Mommy and me really need Daddy here with us. Please God heal him and let him stay with us. Amen.”
While little Johnny was busy praying his mother took notice. Her heart filled with pride and shame, for prayer never crossed her mind as it should have. Yet her son, who was never taught God, was praying for his father no doubt. It has been a long time since she called upon God and that was something that was going to change. Not just today but everyday.
She joined her son on the floor and prayed harder than she had ever before. Johnny was amazed when he finished praying and his mother was next to him, still deep in her own prayer. Once she finished she lifted her tear stained eyes and hugged her son tightly. Just then a doctor approaches them.
“Are you Mrs.Huxley”
Johnny’s mother nods her head yes. She rose from the floor meeting the doctor.
“Your husband almost didn’t make it. He is in stable condition as of now. His injuries are serious but it seems as though he will pull through. You will be able to see him shortly although he is heavily sedated at the moment and may not be responsive.”
The doctor walked away and Johnny’s mother hit her knees once more.
“They both prayed, thank you Father for this miracle. I will never forget what you have done for us.”
Johnny thought back to Sarah and Elisa. If he would have never overheard Elisa’s prayer he might not have ever known of the God who cares about all of His creations. He might now have ever prayed the prayer that he believed saved his Father’s life and brought his mother before God. Johnny couldn’t wait to tell Sarah and Elisa about his miracle and how God answered his prayer.
I was inspired to write this story by my oldest daughter. We were at a small local eatery waiting on our order. She noticed a painting of Jesus hanging on the wall and asked to move a chair beneath it so she could “set with God” while we waited. At first I was going to object but the wholesomeness made me oblige. What was the harm in moving a chair anyways? I would put it back once she was finished. After a few minutes she hopped up and began playing with the toys provided by the restaurant. She decided to bring the fun to her older brother, so she ran to him with a toy in hand. As they were playing together a man walked through the door, I got the vibes that he was out of town. I took note of his hat that said Jesus’s name as well as the hefty Bible he carried with him. When he spoke to the restaurant owner, he solidified my perception. His accent was definitely not from my town and most likely not even my country. The man sat his stuff down on a nearby table, awaiting his food. Next he removed his hat and set it atop his belongings. To my surprise, he approached the chair my daughter had set below Jesus just moments before and used it as a makeshift altar. I looked away not wanting to draw attention during his private moment and happened to catch my daughter’s eye. She never said a word but her smile and eyes said it all. My heart overflowed with emotions. What if he asked God for a place to pray. What if that was exactly what the man needed at that moment and God used my daughter to do it. What if I stopped my daughter from moving the chair? I often forget that my children can and will have a profound effect on people. I forgot that them just being who they are will shine a Godly light into this world. I forgot that tiny voices can make big waves. I am one proud momma of children rooted deeply in God’s grace.

Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
Ephesians 6:2 KJV
https://bible-strong.app
Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
To the Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus.

Numbers 10:29
29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
33 And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to search out a resting place for them.
34 And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
36 And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.
Numbers 11
1 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
22 Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’S hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
