God RAWKS!

Numbers 1
44 These were the men registered by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, all listed according to their ancestral descent. 45 They were registered by families—all the men of Israel who were twenty years old or older and able to go to war. 46 The total number was 603,550.

One year after leaving the land of Egypt, the LORD has Moses & Aaron take a census of the men aged 20 and older who could go to war in God’s army. Not including the Levites, this total is over 600,000! Sometimes, when we get that “Sunday School” picture of the Exodus in our heads, we forget that there were hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of people, plus their livestock, who made this trek in the wilderness. I just want to stop today and marvel at that accomplishment. What a testimony to the Greatness of God! How else could so many people move at one time from Egypt into the wilderness and eventually into the Promised Land? God RAWKS!
