The daughters fought for their inheritance

 Num 27:2  And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest, and before the princes and all the congregation, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 

Num 27:3  Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons. 

Num 27:4  Why should the name of our father be done away from among his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us therefore a possession among the brethren of our father. 

Num 27:5  And Moses brought their cause before the LORD. 

Num 27:6  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 

Num 27:7  The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. 

Here is a question for you, one I want you to ponder and think on.

If Moses brought up the plight of these women to God, and God says they are right, why did God not set it straight Himself knowing it was right?

If God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, then why did He not move to make this situation right without having the daughters plead with Moses, what if they had not asked?

Yes God in His Infinite Wisdom knows. He wants you to ask, He wants you to petition Him. Yes He knows your heart, Yes He knows what is right, yes He knows what is best for you.

Yet He does not always do what is best, sometimes He holds gifts and blessings back until you talk with Him, ask Him.

Why?

Because God is Good, God wants you to have a relationship with Him. If He just automatically does what is right, and best for you all the time then you will get lazy, greedy, complacent and there will be no relationship. Think I am wrong? Remember your kids and how you gave some things, withheld others, and made them prove at other times that they really wanted something?

Can God the Perfect Father do any different?

Ask, beg, plead for He wants to hear from you about what you want, what you need, what you think. Even though He already knows He wants to know that you are going to fight after what you want.

These daughter's had an inheritance coming to them and they just didn't say "well I guess that is God's Will for me to have no inheritance woe is me"). No they got up and said God what of us? What of our inheritance?

God may say no, but He also might just say yes. We will never know until we ask. We will never know until He answers. 

If we do not ask, beg plead we will never ever know.

Yet as always a Word of Caution.

Jas 4:3  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
