Numbers 26:1-51
Luke 2:36-52
Psalm 60:1-12
Proverbs 11:15

1 (To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah,
when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.)
O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

I highlight part of Psalm 60 from today's reading. The 

words stood out to me as I was reading them. I include 
them so we can look at them and reflect upon how they 

can apply to the present.

Luke Chapter 2
51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them:
but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

I think about what it would have been like knowing Jesus 

as He was growing up. Did He have close friends He talked 

to? What would they talk about? Normal things? Deep things? 
Did kids of His age look at Him and see something special? 

Did He pray to God for comfort like we do? 

I think how nice it would be to be sitting somewhere, with Him 

physically sitting next to us, having a conversation under the stars.
