What does it say?
Aaron, his son Eleazar, and Moses ascend Mount Hor. Moses placed Aaron’s priestly garments on Eleazar. After that, Aaron died on top of the mountain.
What does it mean?
Aaron served God faithfully while Israel wandered in the wilderness. He was appointed the first high priest, and God gave Him the responsibility of managing all who served in the Tent of Meeting. He was a minister to the people – a representative whose every action was meant to reflect the very heart of God. Even so, God could not ignore Aaron’s failure to trust God at the “waters of Meribah” – Aaron would die before the Israelites entered the Promised Land. God graciously allowed Aaron to see his son, Eleazar, take his place. Fittingly, all Israel mourned for the loss of their spiritual leader.
How should I respond?
The end of Aaron’s life is a powerful reminder of just how seriously God looks at each of our actions. Every life has highs and lows, frustrations, and tragedies. Even the ordinary things of everyday life can seem so difficult. The way you respond to each of today’s challenges will determine the life you will reflect on in your later years. No one wants to look back at a life of bad choices. What consequences will result from your decisions and reactions this week? Regardless of the circumstances, focus today on making Christ-centered decisions that leave no room for regret.

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.
