Warnings given by parents, teachers, medical professionals and God are for our good. A loving God warns those He cares for. His Word has been preserved for our benefit. Peace, joy, contentment are all available through obedience. Taste and see that the Lord is good!
If you know Him, live for Him. This gospel is for everyone - Jew and Gentile, rich and poor, bond and free.
The redeemed are on a journey. The reality seen in Numbers is that for those who didn't want to serve it was a miserable experience. Rest was available in the promises God had given and some did that. Where are you on this journey?
Acts is a history of the church - its early beginnings. One of the questions asked of those who watched the Lord Jesus ascending into glory was, "Why do you stand gazing into heaven?" Obviously, it was time to go to work. Examining some of the questions found in the book, we should realize some powerful truths. The book recording the acts of the Holy Spirit is still being written. Are you one of the main characters?
The Bible explains in Hebrews 10:17 that "In the volume of the Book, it is written of Me." The offerings we read about in Leviticus speak of our Savior. God offered His only Son to atone for our sins. We need to come to God acknowledging that He alone provides the right sacrifice, one that is acceptable in every way.
In Exodus we see the hand of God moving on behalf of His people to free them from slavery and oppression. He intervenes for them against the most powerful nation at the time. This happens on His timeline, not theirs or Moses'. Today, believers can count on His presence and intervention in their lives also.

Revelation - It's a revealing. Our Savior is revealed as the One who can wash us from the penalty of sin, if we ask. He's the One who submitted Himself to the agony of the cross when all power was His. He's the One who is King of kings whom all nations will eventually have to submit to.
Genesis is the first book in the Bible. It is a book of beginnings. So many truths are recorded there for our discovery, but we'll only discover them if we prayerfully ask the Author to reveal them to us.
