What does it say?
God confirmed that he had appointed Aaron and his sons to serve in the priestly office while the other Levites were to assist the priests in the care of the Tent of Meeting.
What does it mean?
The previous chapter records an open rebellion against Moses and Aaron. Even some Levites openly challenged the position of their God-given spiritual leader. The budding of Aaron’s staff showed the Israelites that God had chosen him to be the high priest, putting an end to the public challenge of his authority. Aaron‘s affirmation by God shows the seriousness of His call to action and how abundantly He equips those He calls for His work.
How should I respond?
Have you taken time to consider what God has planned for you? Regardless of your role or responsibilities, God has designed you for a purpose and is preparing you to fulfill that purpose. God’s equipping comes through both the opportunities He gives and the challenges He allows you to face. Are you going through opposition at the moment? How is God using it to stretch your limits? What affirmation have you been given by the Lord? Look for opportunities to use your natural and spiritual gifts. You may find that God has equipped you in ways that you never realized.
Scripture
About this Plan
In the book of Numbers, God demonstrates himself as a pillar of fire and a pillar of smoke, faithfully leading his often rebellious people through the wilderness. Although the faithless wilderness generation was barred from entering the promised land, God was raising up a generation to lead the people from their wandering into the conquest of the land of Canaan.
