Do you ever wonder if your in the right place? Sometimes we feel that were not doing enough or not good enough. Even times we feel like because others are in more of a leader position that we don't amount to much in God's eyes. I've been reading about Korah and learning that God has a purpose and position for all of us and they are all different. Korah was a Levite and he worked daily at the tabernacle, but he wanted to rule. Many people thought that was quite the job, but he wanted more power. He got a group of people together and they confronted Moses and Aaron (who were at the time the leaders). They were complaining saying that Moses and Aaron weren't better than anyone and all the Israelites were chosen by God. Both of these statements were true, but they were twisting and manipulating God's words to go away from God's intentions. Moses didn't think he was better than them, but he knew God called him into the role leader. Have you ever been in the position leader and had someone manipulate you in making you question the authority that God gave YOU? I feel like majority would say yes. Sad thing is the demons know the bible better than a lot of Christians. The enemy can use people to twist the words of God and make you believe it or attempt to. But we need to be steadfast like Moses. Holding on to the truth and promises of God. When God gives you leadership or authority people can get jealous.
There is a fine line between goals and greed.
To have a goal to achieve is awesome, but being jealous and manipulative to get into a higher position is wrong....Well maybe your not a leader. That is good too. Not everyone is called to lead, but everyone has a purpose for the kingdom of God. Sometimes were busy looking around us that we fail to see the position God placed us in. No matter what position were in we need to know the ultimate authority is God and we are ultimately answering to HIM!
Numbers 16:8-10
Moses also said to Korah, "Now listen, you Levites! Isn't it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the Israelite community and brought you near himself to do the work at the Lord's tabernacle and to stand before the community and minister to them? He has brought you and all your fellow Levites near himself, but now you are trying to get the priesthood too. It is against the Lord that you and all you followers have banded together. Who is Aaron that you should grumble against him?
Whether your a leader or submitting to one, we need to obey the authority God gives, but in the end God is the ultimate authority we answer too. And whatever position your in, God has a plan for you. You are important to HIM :)
