Joey+Rory - How Great Thou Art (Live)
Lots of people died because of Korah’s jealousy and ambition. God opened the ground under them and their
families and the Israelites were obviously in awe of God for the moment. I say for the moment because right after,
this is what happened:
“But on the next day all the
congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, ‘You
are the ones who have caused the death of the Lord’s people.’
“It came about, however, when the
congregation had assembled against Moses and Aaron, that they turned toward the
tent of meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it and the glory of the Lord
appeared.
“Then Moses and Aaron came to the
front of the tent of meeting, and the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Get away
from among this congregation, that I may consume them instantly.’” Numbers
16:41-45
Wow! You would think that if people witnessed the
death of 250 families by the ground opening up beneath them and fire consuming
all they had that they would want to obey God.
Or for that matter after the flood.
Perhaps when Abraham was a father at 99.
Or how about those notorious brothers finding Joseph alive. You probably have a favourite.
The entire Bible is FILLED to
overflowing with incidents of individuals choosing to do what is right in their
own eyes rather than obey God. No wonder
God had to create a new way for His beloved children to be saved from the consequences
of their sin!
Our sin is instinctive, addictive
and ever-present in our hearts….even the most well-intentioned of us cannot go
through a day conscious without straying.
How great and how compassionate and loving our great God is.
Take care with love, especially His! Your servant and friend in Christ, who still
prays for you each morning. Darlene
