When you don't know, who do you ask? Numbers 25-28

Numbers 27:5 (NASBStr)

So Moses brought their case before the Lord.

The background for the above verse is found in the story before it.   The daughter's of a man named Zelophehad came to Moses with an unusual request.  By God's command, Moses had just finished listing out the "heads" of the twelve tribes of Israel for the purpose of dividing up the promise land according to lot for their inheritance.   Since it was divided up by the head "man" of the tribe, the daughter's of Zelophehad were going to be without since Zelophehad was now dead.   They realized neither they, nor their children after them, would have an inheritance among the nation once they reached the promise land.   What was Moses to do?  Moses could have turned to Joshua, who was recently commissioned by God and asked advice.  He could hav just decided and made up his own mind.   After all, there was no Biblical imperative, yet.   But, this is the way Leadership should handle issues.  They should not turn to their college degree; their friends; their intuition.   Turn to God!!   God wants to speak to the issues of our life.  He wants to interact with us.  He wants to be the sole source of our needs.   This is why it is so important to read God's Word everyday, without fail.  God speaks to us through His Word.   Don't turn to friends for advice (like Rehoboam would, later in Israel's history).   Turn to God and ask Him what you should do.    He alone gives counsel through His Word that will not fail.
