                                  TOPIC: THE LORD IS RIGHTEOUS AND DOES RIGHTEOUSNESS
 
Memory verse:-
"Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: "This is what your brother Israel says: You know about all the hardships that have come on us. Our ancestors went down into Egypt, and we lived there many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our ancestors, but when we cried out to the Lord, he heard our cry and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt.
 
"Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory. Please let us pass through your country. We will not go through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will travel along the King’s Highway and not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.” But Edom answered: "You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword.” The Israelites replied: "We will go along the main road, and if we or our livestock drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We only want to pass through on foot—nothing else.” Again they answered:
 
 "You may not pass through.” Then Edom came out against them with a large and powerful army. Since Edom refused to let them go through their territory, Israel turned away from them. The whole Israelite community set out from Kadesh and came to Mount Hor. At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom, the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "Aaron will be gathered to his people. He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command at the waters of Meribah. Get Aaron and his son Eleazar and take them up Mount Hor. Remove Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, for Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will die there.” Moses did as the Lord commanded: They went up Mount Hor in the sight of the whole community. Moses removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar. And Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain, and when the whole community learned that Aaron had died, all the Israelites mourned for him thirty days.”

God is not human He does what is righteous and not what humans demand for satisfaction only. He knew the death of Miriam and Aaron was going to bring sorrow, besides, He knew the Edomites would make the journey difficult for the Israelites yet He did not stop any of them. Moses and the people sought to walk through Edom at the mercies of the king of Edom and their message to him was reasonable and pity but the Lord did not make it happen because He is righteous and does righteousness, when the Lord is pleased with His plan for your life at each point of your life He will make it happen.
 
Prayer:-pray that the righteousness of the Lord will prevail over your thought and entire life
             pray that the joy of the Lord will preserve you daily
