Today's Favorite Verse: Numbers 17:2, 5, 8
"Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man’s name upon his rod.
And it shall come to pass, that the man’s rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds."
I pondered on how this miracle was setup by the Lord in such a way that none could deny they had a fair chance for their rod to blossom. As I pondered on why those that murmured needed to witness a new miracle I realized it wasn't for them.
"And the Lord said unto Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not."
(Numbers 17:10)
Aaron's rod was as a testimony for those that came after them. It was always meant for the believer, not for those that rebelled. Spiritual death is always a risk for those that murmur.
