Numbers 26:12 - 27:11
So we finish counting up all the Israelites again and we come up with more than last time. Apparently their birth rate is higher than their death rate, because we know that all the people who doubted at the word of the spies have died off. In addition, many of them have died off during the plagues that God has sent into their midst to cleanse them. The Israelites have been through much over the past 40ish years and they're now on the brink of the Promised Land....again!
Luke 7:36-50
I love the example that Jesus uses is verses 41-42. That Pharisee had lived a religious life, and as a result hadn't sinned a whole lot, other than not accepting Jesus. He wasn't quite as grateful and receptive to the forgiveness that Jesus had to offer, because, according to his standards, he didn't need it that bad. That woman, however, needed a lot of forgiveness and she knew it! She was grateful and wasn't afraid to show it!
Proverbs 8:12-21
I, personally, love verses 17-21. Remember, wisdom is speaking here. I love that it says that those who seek wisdom, find wisdom. That's a promise we all need sometimes, huh Breanna???

Proverbs 8:12, "I wisdom, dwell together with prudence..."
I looked up the definition of prudence and here is what it means: skill and good judgment in the use of resources
If we want to be wise, then we must learn and exercise self control with our time, treasure, and talent.
