February 21st

February 21st -- Numbers 21:4-9 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%2021:4-9&version=NLT)

The Bronze Snake.

So later on in the journey, the people of Israel yet again doubt. They complain to God, asking why He brought them there to die. They also complain about the manna. So, God sends snakes and many people were bitten and died from their poison.
Moses agains has to plead for the people. He does, and  God listens. He tells Moses to make a replice of a snake and attach it to a pole and whoever looks at it will be healed. Moses does this and some people do end up saved by this, I assume.

I really don't know what to get from this.... as much as God punishes us, sometimes He will see how truly sorry we are and lighten up? I don't know. I'm sorry. This was just not much for a reading... that's all. XD

God bless!
