SPIRITUAL DIARY
My Worship Time Focus: Eleazar the faith priest
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Numbers 16:36-40
Message of the verses: “36 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 37
“Say to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, that he shall take up the censers
out of the midst of the blaze, for they are holy; and you scatter the burning
coals abroad. 38 "As for the censers of these men who
have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into hammered sheets
for a plating of the altar, since they did present them before the LORD and
they are holy; and they shall be for a sign to the sons of Israel." 39 So Eleazar the priest took the bronze
censers which the men who were burned had offered, and they hammered them out
as a plating for the altar, 40 as a reminder to the sons of Israel that no
layman who is not of the descendants of Aaron should come near to burn incense
before the LORD; so that he will not become like Korah and his company—just as
the LORD had spoken to him through Moses.”
It is not
clear if the plating of the altar that was their was taken off and replaced by
these censers or not, but they were put their to remind the children of Israel
“11 Woe to
them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong
into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.” Jude wrote this to his readers and these
three men were good representatives of the world, Korah, the flesh, Balaam, and
the devil Cain.
Spiritual meaning for my life today: I truly need to be reminded from time to time
that I need to fear the Lord because of who He is.
My Steps of Faith for
Today:
- Continue to learn more about the Lord so that I truly know Him better.
- Be content.
- Trust the Lord to guide my path.
- Trust that the Lord will look after Matthew and heal him from this breathing problem.
