Numbers 2

Chapter 2 simply consists of laying out the placement of the tents in the camp. What we see here is an illustration of what we often hear, that of God being a God of order. Notice that as you read this passage the tents were to be set up in a certain way, facing a certain direction, under the family flag. Each family was placed on a specific side of the tent of meetings.

Application
Even the minor things as setting up camp God is concerned about. What seems random, is not, what seems happen chance is not. God is a God of order. He is not surprised about what happens in life. There is order and direction. The other thing we see here is that if God is interested in the placement of tents don’t you think that he is just a little interested in the things of your life and wants to bring order and direction to you. Will you listen to what he is saying to bring that order to your life?
