Numbers 15:38
“Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments ... and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue”— Numbers 15:3838Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: (Numbers 15:38).
BLUE is the heavenly color. The ribband of blue on the border of the Israelite’s garments was to remind the wearer that he belonged to the God of heaven and was responsible to act accordingly. So believers today are to walk as heavenly men and women in the midst of all the sin and corruption of this world. Our citizenship is in heaven. We represent another country. Here we are but strangers and pilgrims. The heavenly character should ever be manifested in all our words and ways.
“Lord, since we sing as pilgrims,
Oh, give us pilgrims’ ways,
Low thoughts of self, befitting
Proclaimers of Thy praise.
Oh, make us each more holy,
In spirit, pure and meek,
More like to heavenly citizens,
As more of heaven we speak.”
