Now I bet you are wondering what I have to say about this chapter (if you have already read it). if you haven't, it is about an accounting of how many men are of the age to go to war.
But the key is that God is preparing them to be ready. The land which they are passing through has enemies and God is preparing them to deal with that and to become a people with a different attitude than when they arrives at the promised land the first time. God is molding them to have the attitude God needs them to have in order to receive all the blessings God has in store for them.
So bringing this in today, this chapter is a reminder that God is molding us as well. Have you examined what God is doing in your life to figure out how? Maybe you should. If God is doing the molding without your cooperation, it could be a challenge and more painful. If you work with God and see where God is taking you, the process can be smoother and less painful.
Writing about this reminds me of a video called God's Chisel. Please take the time to watch it...it is about 10 minutes, but really powerful.
