Cities of Refuge & The Mount of Glory: Numbers 35–36 and the Transfiguration (Day 93)

Where do we find safety and glory? Today, we finish the Book of Numbers by exploring the "Cities of Refuge"—God’s provision of justice and protection for those who have caused accidental death. In the Gospel of Luke, we move from the lowlands of the camp to the mountain of Transfiguration, where Jesus’ glory is revealed alongside Moses and Elijah. It is a moment that confirms His mission and His authority as the one we must listen to above all others.Today’s Scripture:📖 Numbers 35–36:12 – The Levites are assigned their cities, including six "Cities of Refuge." We also see the final resolution concerning tribal inheritance, ensuring that the land God gave to each family remains within their tribe.📖 Luke 9:28–56 – Jesus takes Peter, John, and James up a mountain to pray and is transfigured before them. As they descend, Jesus heals a demon-possessed boy and begins to set His face toward Jerusalem, teaching His disciples that the Son of Man came not to destroy lives, but to save them.📖 Psalm 40:9–17 – A prayer of dependence: "As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God!"RESOURCES & READ-ALONG 📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYKi8-_5xHGL_nFAZOthHtZhcb4CqW4ZF 📖 Follow the Text (LEB): https://biblia.com/books/leb/ 🗓️ Download the Full Plan: https://www.biblica.com/resources/reading-plans/CONNECT & SUPPORT 📧 Questions?
