Being serious about God

Num:12 Aaron and Miriam rebels against Moses and they learned it the hard way that God is supreme and sovereign.

Num:14 Aaron is seen alongside Moses to fall down to intercede for the whole community of Israel(v:5)

Again when the Lord wants to punish the whole community, when the Lord communicates, Aaron is there shoulder to shoulder to Moses (v:26)

Num:16 When Korah conspires, his complaints are against both Moses and Aaron (v:3) 

And it's both Moses and Aaron together interceding for the whole nation, falling face down on the ground (v:22)

A man who was instrumental in instituting idol worship in the community has known the living true God.

A man who complained against his own brother on being the leader, has no ego now stands along with his brother to intercede for the country. When he had a genuine encounter with God, he understood the essence of his calling and becomes serious about it, serious about God.

A man who feared men and paid heed to their desires, falls protrate before God to plead for them asking God to forgive their rebellion.

A man who wanted to be the leader, becomes the leader himself when he sets his focus right.

A man who wanted to be the spiritual leader of the nation, has already become the spiritual head when he stands in the gap between the people and God.

How different have we been in our Christian journey?

Are we still the same?

Have we grown?

Have we become mature?

Have we become serious about God?

Or are we still running around the same things we were running after?

Are we struggling with the same sins as before?

It is right time we be serious about God, because time is definitely running out.
