Kuɛ̈n 10:35

Join us in praying for our leaders with this 8-day reading plan, featuring prayers from The One Year Pray for America Bible.

Begin your journey through Numbers with clarity. On the first day of this plan, you will read a guided introduction alongside the opening chapters of Numbers. This introduction explains Israel’s forty years in the wilderness and how preparation, rebellion, discipline, and renewed hope shaped the nation. You will see both the consequences of unbelief and the faithfulness of God. As you read, remember that Numbers is still being translated today so communities around the world can encounter God’s Word in the language they understand best. This plan offers a clear starting point as you read Numbers.

The Bible is a compilation of 66 books. Each book has an overarching theme. Multiple stories and texts in each book point to an attribute of God. When these themes are recognized, they help us understand the message of that book better. It also allows us to see how One Single Story is woven from beginning to end. Ultimately, each theme will enable us to understand Jesus and why He came.

Numbers shows us what it looks like to get trapped in the cycle of sin. Whether it was Israel in the wilderness or ourselves in the city, we all disobey and are headed toward punishment. Only Jesus can break the cycle of sin, intercede for us, and bring us to himself. This plan will show you Jesus in every passage of Numbers to more clearly see this beautiful truth.
