Today’s Scripture

“Then Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. And he said to the congregation, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins. So they got away from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stood in the door of their tents with their wives, and their sons, and their little ones. And Moses said, By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I do not act of my own accord: If these men die the common death of all men or if [only] what happens to everyone happens to them, then the Lord has not sent me. But if the Lord causes a new thing [to happen], and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up, with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol (the place of the dead), then you shall understand that these men have provoked (spurned, despised) the Lord! As soon as he stopped speaking, the ground under the offenders split apart And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households and [Korah and] all [his] men and all their possessions. They and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol (the place of the dead); and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly.”

Numbers 16:25-33

Today’s Thought

Sometimes we are not in agreement with the direction God wants us to walk in… Be very careful never to rise up against it, even though you don’t agree, and don’t share with others… Your frustration is dangerous… Bring it to the Lord in prayer and let God minister to your heart.

Today’s Confession

Father God, sometimes I don’t understand the direction you're taking me… Help me to not be stubborn, obstinate, or complaining… Help me to still myself and come to you in prayer… I may not understand your purpose, but I know you only have the best for me and I will follow you wherever you lead.
