8The next day Moses entered the tent and saw that Aaron’s staff, which represented the tribe of Levi, had not only sprouted but had budded, blossomed and produced almonds. 9Then Moses brought out all the staffs from the Lord’s presence to all the Israelites. They looked at them, and each of the leaders took his own staff.
10The Lord said to Moses, “Put back Aaron’s staff in front of the ark of the covenant law, to be kept as a sign to the rebellious. This will put an end to their grumbling against me, so that they will not die.” 11Moses did just as the Lord commanded him.–Numbers 17
- GOD WAS PUTTING AN END TO THE GRUMBLING AGAINST HIS LEADERS.
- GOD WORKED A MIRACLE TO PROCLAIM HIS CHOICE.
- A LIVE TREE CAN PRODUCE ALMONDS QUICKLY, BUT A DEAD STICK?
- GOD BESTOWS LIFE AND MINISTRY FRUITFULNESS ON WHOMEVER HE WISHES!
- JUST LIKE GOT COULD MAKE A DEAD STAFF PRODUCE FRUIT, GOD WAS ABLE TO SELECT THE LEVITES TO UNIQUELY SERVE HIM.
- HOW IS YOUR HEART REGARDING GRUMBLING?
- HOW HAS GOD IN JESUS BROUGHT YOUR STORY FROM DEATH TO LIFE? WHAT FRUIT DO YOU NOW BEAR?–JMB
