Scripture:
“and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken a count of the men of war who are under our command, and not a man of us is missing.”
Numbers 31:49 NKJV
Observation:
In this passage, you can see men reporting to Moses after taking a count of the men returning from fighting against the Midianites. They reported that not a man was missing. They made sure every man who went into battle was accounted for and were able to tell Moses that no man was left behind.
Application:
Jesus told His Father that of all that were given to Him, all were accounted for except the son of perdition. During this Coronavirus outbreak I need to make sure everyone is present and accounted for as a pastor. In live-streaming our services temporarily, I need to check in with all our people because I can’t see who was there and not there. It is a time to make sure no one is missing, hurting, broken, or devastated in our ranks.
Prayer:
Lord, I pray for the people You have called me to serve. Keep us together. Help us to connect with everyone and to make sure that no man or woman is left behind. Enable our elders to make contact with every member and help us to demonstrate Your love well during this season of pandemic. Keep our people safe and healthy. Provide for their needs as some of them are not able to work right now.
Your Son,
Jeff
