A Sounding of Trumpets
Today’s Bible Study March 1, 2012
“Only the priests are allowed to blow the trumpets” (Numbers 10:8).
To Find (look for):
How many times is “Lord” repeated in the priestly blessing (Numbers 6:22-27)?
What day does the cloud lift from the Tabernacle (Numbers 10:11)?
To Mind (key point): The trumpets were sounded for many reasons: to call the people to assembly, to break camp, to go to war, and to signal gladness at annual festivals. Trumpets were also blown over burnt and peace offerings to remind God of His covenant with the people.
To Bind (apply to our lives): Sometimes when the people sounded the trumpets, they were displaying their trust in God. Other times they were moving God to bless them with His presence and aid. In essence, the trumpets invoked and celebrated God’s presence among them. God’s presence within you sets you apart from the world. Do you start your day “sounding the trumpet” – invoking God’s presence into your life and circumstances?
