Numbers 16:22 Then they fell on their faces, and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and You be angry with all the congregation?”

When God said to Moses and Aaron how He would consume the whole congregation, they bowed before God and begged Him not to do so.

The same people who did wrong so many times and rejected God were the people Moses and Aaron were now protecting!

What sort of friend do you think you would be if you were faced with imminent danger?

2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

What wonderful affirmation; God knows each one of us and stands firm with those who know and love Him.

Let each of us who know and love God, try to stay clear of sin in our lives because we love Him and want to do it for Him.

Don’t just keep the law because it is the law; keep it because you have the best reason to keep it, trying to please God!

Genesis 18:19 For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the Lord, to do righteousness and justice, that the Lord may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”

There are people who have been chosen by God for special reasons who are used as examples for the rest of us to follow.

God has special knowledge of our abilities and places us in positions where we can use those abilities in the best ways.

God knew Abraham would do what was right. He knows what we will do already. We are the ones who have to step up to the mark and fulfil our tasks for Him.
