Numbers 2:1-2 Then the Lord gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron: “When the Israelites set up camp, each tribe will be assigned its own area. The tribal divisions will camp beneath their family banners on all four sides of the Tabernacle, but at some distance from it.”
My instructions to the Israelites were clear in how they were to camp around the Tabernacle. They were to assemble by tribes in specific places surrounding the Tabernacle. In this way, they were always within sight of My home among them, and were always protecting it from any harm. So it is to be in your life. Do you not see that you need to tuck Me into a safe, always protected place in your heart and mind? Do you not see that I am what is most easily lost to the attacks of the enemy? Not Me, but your connection to Me? That you are always to protect your relationship with Me above all else? Once that is lost, you are lost. Once that is severed, you are unprotected and vulnerable to any and all attacks by your enemy. Your enemy seeks to distract you, to take you off course, to keep you off balance. All of that is possible when you do not protect and nourish your relationship with Me. That is the most important thing you can do on a daily basis, at all times. Do not forget who protects you, who guides you, who provides for you. It is not I? I am the source of all that is good and healthy and life-giving – in all aspects – your physical life, your emotional life, your spiritual life. I Am. Stay close to Me. Seek My face. Seek My guidance. Ask for My wisdom. I will provide, just don’t let your enemy distract you from what is most important – what is vital – My presence in your life, your relationship with Me.
