Quite frankly, I am a bit down and grouchy tonight, for no apparent reason.
You know what that is like…there are just nights were you feel more like resting than doing homework and dealing with people.
But…life goes on and we push through.
A the end of every worn out night is a fresh coffee in the morning…
And I will forever believe that God does hold an explanation point for every question mark.
So, for tonight, I can simply push through.
The idea that hit me tonight came from numbers 18. In this passage, God is describing the roles of the priests,
The LORD said to Aaron, "You will have no inheritance in their land, nor will you have any share among them; I am your share and your inheritance among the Israelites.
What God is saying here is that the priests do not get the same gifts that God is planning to give to the rest of the Israelites. Instead, God was giving himself to Aaron. God was to be his share and his gift.
What amazes me about this passage is that, to the innocent bystander, it might look like Aaron had been giped. All of the normal tribes of
But I think that Aaron is the lucky one here…he has been given more of the presence of God.
Something that occurred to me a long time ago is this…
God never leaves a hole in your life that he doesn’t intend to fill, at least with himself.
Meaning, we have desires, and we have things that we hope for in our lives. I believe that God honors that, and I believe that even though our hopes do not always turn into realites…God fills up that void with himself. He makes us whole.
No, Aaron didn’t get the impressive looking property…He was given a piece of the Holy God instead.
