Unless you\\u2019ve spent a lot of time studying the Old Testament, there\\u2019s a good chance you\\u2019ve never heard of Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tizrah. They\\u2019re first introduced in Numbers 27 when Moses is conducting the second census of Israel. The purpose of the census was to determine their military strength as well as to distribute the family land grants in Canaan.\\xa0

At the time, women held no property rights. When a man died, his inheritance went to his sons. If he had no sons, it went to his brothers. But the five daughters of Zelophehed felt this was unfair. So together as a group, they went to Moses to express their concerns in order to change the laws.

The story of Zelophehad\\u2019s daughters confirms that God treasures women. He doesn\\u2019t see us as second class citizens. He knows our name, He supports our right to be heard, and He listens to what we have to say. He loves us, each and every one of us.

Perhaps you\\u2019ve not been feeling very loved. For that matter, you feel like you\\u2019re not being heard. I encourage you to take your concerns to God. It\\u2019s ok to express your frustrations. It\\u2019s alright to let Him know you\\u2019re upset. He wants to hear from you. He\\u2019s waiting to hear from you.
