KINGDOM PREPARATION DAY FORTY: Scripture Reading: Numbers 17:1-13Focus Verse: Numbers 17:10 A Second MemorialSince the challenge of Korah and his backers was against the leadership of Moses and the priesthood of Aaron, God created two memorials to remind the people of this sad rebellion that resulted in the loss of so many lives. God directed Moses to have the leader of each tribe write his name on his “rod” (staff) and bring it to the Tabernacle where they would be placed before the “Testimony” (Ark). God stated that the rod of the man that He had chosen to be his priest would blossom. That miraculous exhibition was to serve as God’s way of ridding Himself of “the complaints of the children of Israel” which they were making against Moses and Aaron. Moses placed the rods of the leaders of the tribes, along with the rod of Aaron, before the Lord. On the next day, when the rods were retrieved, it was “the rod of Aaron, of the house of Levi” that had “sprouted and put forth buds” and “had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds.” God did this to provide irrefutable evidence to His people and to leave them no remaining arguments against His chosen leaders. So that no one would forget this miraculous sign, the Lord instructed Moses to have Aaron’s rod remain in front of the Ark as a sign to any who might be tempted to complain against God again.Prayer Emphasis:Thank you for walking through this first part of Numbers with us. Our prayer is that you have been able to associate your own life experience with that of these people who walked with God through the Wilderness in search of the Promised Land (God’s perfect will). It is our desire that you, too, will discover God’s perfect plan for your life.
