Morning Light - Numbers 5

[Today: Numbers 5] The Law of Jealousies. In this chapter God instructs Moses regarding something called the “Law of Jealousies”. In this law the Father is revealing something of Himself as a husband over a wanton bride, yet ever seeking to bring her (us) back into fruitful and loving relationship. God is love and our fidelity toward Him at any point in our life is measured by our love one for another. In this obscure and little-known passage of scripture we see where the command to love God and love one another come together in a promise of blessing for those willing to drink of the cup set before us in God’s presence.
