Numbers 1:36-37

Num 1:36  Of the sons of Benjamin, referencing their historical lineage, by their clans, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, from twenty years old and upward, every man able to go to war:
Num 1:37  those mustered of the tribe of Benjamin were 35,400.

targeting his will

35,400 men from Benjamin’s line followed general Abidan. The name says “my Father is judge.” It reflects a belief that our heavenly Father oversees the affairs of humanity and will see to it that justice occurs.

Spiritual warfare, like the physical kind — requires the warrior to look beyond his own needs and defer to the needs of the family. Likewise, when we go to our prayer rooms, we will be asked to take on the battles facing our whole community, and seek our father’s will. We pray first for our Father’s will to be done.

LORD, show us how to target your will in our prayers.
