Num. 17, 18 [The Message]

Yesterday I told my “Bellyache Story.” It was an example of how God confirms and defends His leaders. God also confirmed Aaron’s leadership when He caused his rod to bud when others didn’t. [Ch. 17]

Aaron and Miriam also learned this lesson when they bucked against Moses’ leadership. God smote them with leprosy and required them to have Moses pray for them that they could be made healthy again. [Num. 12]

If you are a leader, you don’t need to toot your own horn or be touchy about defending your leadership. God will CONVINCINGLY defend you and establish your authority if you let Him.
