Numbers 2 Yesterday, I sat in a traffic jam. It took about thirty minutes to travel 3 or 4 miles. When we came to the point of the congestion, a car was being loaded up on a tow truck and moved out of the intersection. Apparently an accident brought a decrease in the normal order of things. Ever notice that in a long line at a traffic light that it takes a very long time for the twentieth car to be able to begin going? The lag time in human reaction from seeing the light change to when the car actually safely moves is such that is slows everything down. As the 20th car in line, I don’t expect to be able to clear the intersection before it turns red. However, if everyone could simultaneously move forward, eliminating the lag time, one could easily clear the intersection during the span of green time at the intersection. Can you imagine the logistical problems of trying to get 2,000,000 people to simultaneously break camp and begin moving? God is a God of order. It is clearly demonstrated in his instruction for camping and how to break camp. Today he calls His body, His church, to move in an orderly fashion to fulfill His purpose in the earth. Sometimes it takes a massive coordination in how to break camp and move in unison. It is His glory to communicate to us to provide the coordination in order to complete the work. Are we listening to His instruction? He provides it, and that is when He is most glorified! Indeed we serve a glorious King. Speak His glory to someone today! --Pastor john
