The Center of the Camp

In the second chapter of Numbers we read how the camp of the Israelites was laid out as they wandered in the wilderness forty years, following the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night.

They were organized by tribe throughout their wanderings. Each tribe had its own banner and ensign, as well as the various families within the tribes, and the four major standards divided the nation into quarters. It is where the ancient art of heraldry, which still with us today, had its origin.

The camp of Judah was on the East, the camp of Reuben was on the South, the camp of Ephraim was on the West and the camp of Dan was on the North. But the Tabernacle was in the middle of the camp.

The Tabernacle was where the presence of God dwelt. That presence was made manifest in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. Ever present with them was the assurance of God’s divine presence, and that presence was in the center of the camp. The entire nation of Israel revolved around God. He was the center of their life, both nationally and personally.

And that is how it should be with God's people still today. Our lives, both personally and nationally, ought to revolve around the Lord Jesus Christ.

Is Jesus the center of your life? Does your world revolve around Him?
