Numbers 7:36 Summary
Numbers 7:36 tells us about Shelumiel, the leader of the Simeonites, who brought his offering to the Lord on the fifth day, as part of the dedication of the altar. This shows us that Shelumiel was obedient to God's commands, just like Abraham in Genesis 22:1-14. We can learn from Shelumiel's example by being willing to follow God's plans for our lives, even when it's not easy, and by trusting in His goodness and love, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28. By doing so, we can offer ourselves to God as living sacrifices, just as Shelumiel offered his gift to the Lord, and just as Jesus Christ offered Himself for us, as described in John 3:16 and Romans 5:8.
