Today's reading from Numbers 16-17
The Back to the Bible Chronological Reading Plan

Numbers 16-17

Numbers 16 dealt with another rebellion. Korah and his friends attack the leadership of Moses and Aaron. Korah was a Kohahtite, and his job in the tabernacle was to take care of the most holy things(Num 4.1-20, 12.8-11). He wanted more, a higher position as a priest. God punished Korah, Dathan and Abiram by having the earth swallow them up. More details are on Korah's Rebellion. We need to be CONTENT in whatever position in life God gives us, He knows what is best for us regardless of how we feel about it.



In Numbers 17, God told Moses to get twelve staffs from each leader of the tribe with the name of each man writen on it. They are to place in the tabernacle where God will meet with them. The staff that will sprout would be the man that God chose. He said this to gstop the constant grumbling agsainst Moses. When Moses went in the next day to the tabernacle and saw Aaron's staff not only sprouted but had budded and produce almond buds. This was to show Israel that Aaron was chosen. The reaction of the Israelites was terror. If we are chosen of God to do His work, the results wil be seen without us proclaiming how wonderful our ministry is.

We do not realize how terrible sin is. It does not matter whether the sin is commited intentionally or defiantly. God had to eradicate sin once and for all, that he sent his Son, Jesus to die in our place so that when we are His children, He does not see sin but righteousness.
