Jesus Is The Perfect Solution To Every Problem

Numbers 3:5-7 -   Then at the Lord’s command Moses gave this order to the Israelites: “What the tribe of the descendants of Joseph is saying is right. This is what the Lord commands for Zelophehad’s daughters: They may marry anyone they please as long as they marry within their father’s tribal clan.  No inheritance in Israel is to pass from one tribe to another, for every Israelite shall keep the tribal inheritance of their ancestors.

God had given land to a group of daughters because the father died with no sons. This would have been great if these women never married out of the tribe.  So some of the family chiefs raised the new problem to Moses. Moses saw the new problem that was created by solving this dilemma for the daughters created immediately…and quickly brought Gods answer back to them.  They would need to agree to marry within the tribe…or lose the inheritance.

My favorite commentator these days…David Guzik…. quickly brought my thoughts to see a truth of every solution man has ever tried to implement to the problems of this world. He said… “There are rarely perfect solutions to problems.  There are usually answers that are trade-offs in other areas.  Maturity helps us make and accept the ‘right’ decision…even when it’s not perfect.”

What a great reminder that the only perfect solution was the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. Even after such a great sacrifice…many people choose not to take advantage of his perfect solution to the evil in this world. Perhaps it is because they are in denial of the last days God has given us to preach his gospel to the entire world. I sure am guilty of not making this a priority on some days.

Father…thank you for the reminder that the perfect solution to all problems has already put in motion our only hope of salvation and life for eternity. Forgive me for the times that I have taken that for granted.  Help me to gain strength this morning from the love you gave me when I believed in you….and show me ways to be used to share the love you gave me with others. Amen.
