In today’s chapter, God
adds to the dramatic demonstration of who He is by causing Aaron’s staff to bud,
flower and produce almonds in 12 hrs. In so doing, God demonstrates His glory
and power, plus He establishes Aaron’s lineage as priests of
God.
The people tremble before
their great and awesome God. Fear, a holy fear, descends upon the people. They
cry out to Moses, "We will die! We are lost,
we are all lost! Anyone who even comes near the tabernacle of the LORD will die.
Are we all going to die?" (12-13).
By reading a chapter a day
we are left hanging. Will the people die?
We know the answer, since
the Bible doesn’t end here. They do not die. But, hopefully, they learned a
valuable lesson.
The question for me/you
today is did I/you learn the lesson God sought to teach his children? Did I/you
learn that there is only one God and it is not me or us! As God, His Word goes.
As God, His Word is the rule. As God, He is to be believed and followed, not
challenged or ignored!
Do I/we live in obedience
or rebellion? They are the only two options when it comes to the
Lord…
Think about
it…
Lord,
obedience or rebellion? Imperfect as my living and obeying might be, I choose
obedience. Lead me, guide me, give me understanding of Your eternal word that I
might know You and what You have spoken so that I might
obey.
Where You
have given understanding, may I have the faith to obey. Where I lack
understanding, may I gain it that I might not sin against You. May my life be an
example for others to follow. I pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
