Use His Mouth and Wisdom

Today I read Chapters 32-36 of Numbers and Deuteronomy 1:1-3 as well as Luke 21:1-23:6. My favorite verses are:

Numbers 33:38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.

Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Aaron obeyed God, even to the point of death. This is a good legacy for any Christian to leave behind for his family and friends. God told Aaron that he was going to the mountain to die. I’m sure Aaron would have liked to go into the Promised Land with the children of Israel, but it was not to be so. After being a priest to them for more than 40 years, he was ordered to pass the torch to his son and go home to his Father. God decides when it is time for each of His children to leave this world behind and come home to Him. We simply need to serve him faithfully until that time comes. We are never alone—He is always with us to help and guide us. In Luke 21:15 we are promised, just as Moses was, that God will speak through us with power and authority. We do not need to fear our adversaries because God will make us able to overcome them in word and deed. When we don’t know what to do or say, God will make a way!
