DON'T BE A SCHEMER
The Numbers passage is a summary of the 40 years that the people of Israel wandered after disobeying God. As a “people” of God, we are also called to “obey God lest we wander.” In the Luke passage, we see our Lord calling out demons on the sabbath and the calling of men to do His will. In the Psalm, we see David calling on God to hide him from the plotting against him. Later, David states that God will ruin the schemers by using their own words against them. The righteous will sing joyously to the Lord. I am reminded of the saying “what goes around, comes around.” So we should be very careful and not be “schemers” in dealing others.
