“from twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.”
Numbers 1:3 KJV
God Himself commanded His servants to number all the male Israelites from twenty years and above by their clans and families, listing every man by name. There were two census in Numbers, one taken soon after they left Egypt and the other just before they entered Canaan. The God of infinite wisdom still counts each one of us meticulously. He is not a God Who stands afar off without much interest in you. Nothing escapes His attention. He knows your thoughts, sighs, even the words you will speak before they come on your tongue. He knows your need before you ever ask Him. He numbered all your days, even every single hair of your head. He has counted the stars of heaven and the sand of the sea. How detailed is God! God wants you to count every one of His blessings, not be proud of them, but be thankful to God. Thankfulness comes when we count our blessings and in Christ through a thankful heart God causes us to triumph. In the census of God, we are more than our enemies and when God is for us who can be against us? We are overcomers in Christ and more than a conqueror. Hallelujah!
