not what you think

 Numbers 10:12 “Five days later, on the fifteenth day of the same month, you must call another holy assembly of all the people, and you may do no ordinary work on that day. It is the beginning of the Festival of Shelters, a seven-day festival to the Lord.


I love how this passage sounds- very churchy. “You must call another holy assembly...” That’s just what we need. Sounds dull enough to be spiritual. “Hey, how would you like to join me at the holy assembly?”


Wait a minute. This is God speaking. Wait another minute. This is not a boring gathering of pretentious people going through the motions. It is the start of a seven day party!!


How do our preconceived notions of what the Bible talks about get corrected when we actually read it?
