Regular Interaction With God [1-minute read]

39“‘In addition to what you vow and your freewill offerings, offer these to the Lord at your appointed festivals: your burnt offerings, grain offerings, drink offerings and fellowship offerings.’”–Numbers 29

Chapters 28 and 29 detailed the basic interaction calendar that God expected with His people.

  1. DAILY (burnt offerings)
  2. WEEKLY (Sabbath offerings)
  3. MONTHLY (new moon offerings
  4. YEARLY (Passover, Weeks, Trumpets, Atonement, Tabernacles)
  5. JUST BECAUSE (vows, free will offerings, fellowship)

Ponder your interactions with God. The best time with God involves two main things: BIBLE OPEN and JOURNEYING WITH COMMUNITY.

  1. DAILY (the discipline of Bible study)
  2. WEEKLY (gathering for worship at your church)
  3. MONTHLY (prayerfully analyzing your accountability issues with trusted friends. men with men and women with women)
  4. YEARLY (using annual holidays to consider big-picture, foundational issues. I personally use 1 Corinthians 10:31 and Ephesians 5:25.)
  5. JUST BECAUSE (reserving special times of commitment and prayer with God as needs arise during your year).–JMB
